It is spam-free because you have to approve each email address that is allowed to send emails to it. The only spam that could possibly get through would be if your email address was sending out spam that you weren’t aware of.

My mother-in-law’s mother loves the thing. I don’t know that it will be appropriate for people that are frightened of having technology in their home (and I understand those people do exist), but for people that would like to stay in touch, but don’t want to learn a computer, this is a really great solution.

Also: Presto claims no spam … have consumers found this to be true? In time, does spam find its way to a Presto account?

No, not at all.

Its a full color printer that can check the Internet for email. It doesn’t have any buttons on it, you can’t dial out with it, and it doesn’t make phone calls. It also doesn’t send or receive faxes.

The Presto service is a complex back end system that allows you to control the administration of the machine remotely, check ink levels, and even find new information to send to a loved one who doesn’t have a computer.

It’s a printer without a computer, not a fax machine.
