5: Is it true that you are giving away mobile phones? Please give me Anna Swelunds e-mail address.
No, Ericsson is not giving away phones for free. The chain letter is a
fraud.
[First published 10 April 2000]
A chain letter is currently in circulation via e-mail, purporting that
Ericsson is giving away mobile phones. The e-mail is a fraud and
Ericsson is not giving away phones for free. The following is an
extract from the letter:
"If you forward it [the letter] to 20 friends, you will receive a brand
new Ericsson phone."
The letter is signed off Anna Swelund, Executive Promotion Manager
for Ericsson Marketing. This person does not exist at Ericsson. The
legal and IT departments at Ericsson will trace the person who
initiated the illegal chain letter. Ericsson is sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused and kindly ask people not to forward the chain mail further.

27: How do I communicate securely by email with Ericsson users?
Maintaining a high level of security when dealing with confidential information such as sensitive patent, legal, financial or employee information is essential for maintaining an organization of high integrity. It is therefore advised that sensitive material sent through e-mail between Ericsson and it’s partners and vice versa should be protected using mail encryption.
Ericsson uses a standard, S/Mime Digital id, referred to as EriCA. The Certificate Authority is hosted by TeliaSonera, and is trusted by RSA, which means that all external users using Windows XP and above, with the Root certificate update automatically trust them.
For you as an external user, you will need to use a mail tool that can handle Digital ids (certificates), and you will need to obtain a Digital id (from VeriSign, Thawte etc.).
Please click on this link to download a presentation showing how to communicate by mail encryption with Ericsson (pdf).
If your company is using Windows 2000 or has not updated Windows XP with the latest root certificate update, it could be useful for you to install Ericssons root certificates.
They are available for download by clicking this link (zip).
