Email Delivered to Your Mobile Phone
January 3rd, 2008 MobileFreak
If you do not use a Windows Mobile phone or a BlackBerry, then you need to be aware of a free service that lets you send and receive emails on your regular mobile phone. Their tag line is, “Just the emails you want, sent as text messages.”
Think You Need a Blackberry? Try TeleFlip First
TeleFlip lets you set which emails you want forwarded as text messages to your phone. The emails can come from just about any type of email account (work, Yahoo! Mail, GMail, etc.), and the only thing you pay for is the text message fees from your wireless carrier. While you’re thinking about it, check with your carrier about changing your text message (SMS) fees. Many carriers are offering more flat rate options that are cheaper for those that do a lot of text messaging.
TeleFlip is better suited for those who simply want to stay on top of certain emails while they are away from their computer. It is certainly not practical for a salesperson, for example, that goes through 50-300 emails per day from the road. Those high volume users should stick to their smart phone or BlackBerry.
Has anyone else tried TeleFlip? What do you think?

I used it and like you said, it’s good for specific emails from people who you know you’ll want to read emails from. I ended up getting a PDA and didn’t need it anymore but I thought it was a cool service.
i hope this is as good as i am hoping.
so just send me your email and phone number and i,ll get back to you.
