For my sins I use BT Openworld for my email (but not my ISP - it's a long story) and until just recently they used to provide SMS alerts for each email I received. For this very handy service they charged me £2.50 per month, but it was well worth it. Now due to the BT/Yahoo get together that service has been retired and they want to charge me on a per message basis at 10p per shot. No way and I going to pay that, especially as their new spam filtering seems so ineffective and it's likely to cost me about a £2 a day ! So does any one know of a similar service at a resonable cost ? It seems that O2 have quietly retired their free SMS service as well ....

I think Hotmail do something useful, and their Junk folder control is pretty good once you get the hang of it. Or maybe just no-one emails me. :confused:

we use 24x.com for our sms e-mail to text pager alerts.

I thought a techie like you would be recieving emails on your wristwatch or somethin :D:D
