Guest Coucou Posted January 9, 2004 Report Posted January 9, 2004 They used to offer this service ages ago. Wasn't aware they had stopped TBH. I can see a use for it if my phone didn't do all that anyway, and most people don't have smartphones.
Guest mcwarre Posted January 9, 2004 Report Posted January 9, 2004 Did you read about the cost for reminding you? 12p per text (e-mail free but you have to use GPRS to download). Me thinks not....... (Especially with Outlook on the phone!)
Guest stevewright Posted January 9, 2004 Report Posted January 9, 2004 Is there anyway you could get the SPV to see if the new sms in the inbox as "email alert" in the message body, and to automatically download the email? (I believe I have described a "push" system) That would save all these people checking for email every 2 hours loads of GPRS!
Guest Coucou Posted January 9, 2004 Report Posted January 9, 2004 That'd be cool, can't see how it would work though. It's not a big deal to tell your spv to get e-mails after you receive an alert anyway - and it does allow you to screen them. The e-mail alert you receive tells you who's sent the e-mail, I quite often don't bother downloading e-mail for days until one comes in form someone I want to talk to. (I don't receive that many full stop.)
