After hearing about ipipi, John comes to check the service out. 

He first opens a new text messaging account. 

He chooses a user name "JohnRoth"

Immediately, he is assigned a new email address johnroth@ipipi.com and is able to receive email sent to his johnroth@ipipi.com account. 

As soon as somebody sends him email to this address, John will be able to read it through ipipi's webmail service.
