Default Re: Email to Replace SMS???

Have to agree there, the only carrier that offers reasonably cheap email
is Three. What makes it handy and they don't seem to document it, is
that emails with a High Priority generate an SMS with the senders
details and the Subject field (up to the 160 char. of course).

I will be throwing my SMS Page back up online to make use of this
feature, which has a form and generates two emails. One goes off to
Three formatted to send the SMS and another to my my home email with all
the details including IP address and other security info on where the
message originated from.

I can't really see Email taking off, it is too complicated for the
average person on a handset, takes too long to compile and then send.
