If you have my mobile phone
number, then you already have access to my "personal mobile
mailbox." In fact, you can reach me with a near-instant SMS
one-way text message. What's the procedure? You create and send a very
brief (160 character maximum, including subject) plain text message
from your current e-mail account on any personal computer -- it's
really that simple!
Application Tips: You can send
one-way text messages to multiple SMS recipients by creating an "e-mail
distribution list" of mobile phone e-mail addresses from within MS
Outlook. Therefore, you can quickly send your own broadcast "mobile
group alert" messages. If you prefer, you may also send SMS text
messages from your Instant Messaging client software (like AIM). Just
imagine the potential for creative business-related applications!

You can also choose to receive personalized and timely event-driven information that's regularly delivered to your mobile phone as an SMS text message. It's easy to configure and control, and each of the following free online services offers useful content for both consumer and business related applications -- such as, news, sports, travel, local weather and traffic reports, stocks and auction data, plus you may also set-up custom e-mail filter alerts for your incoming messages, or reminders of upcoming events in your own personal calendar.

Also, never include mobile phone numbers on your web site, since this may result in unsolicited SMS spam e-mail messages. |
