This and pushover look interesting. But I also need something that doesn't require a data connection. I am occasionally in places with bad reception and SMS is often still usable. Never mind the cost of maintaining a data connection while roaming. (Receiving SMS is free in any country I care to visit with my contract) I don't mind paying for the service. But it needs to be affordable. -- Joost -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
