FWIW: My Pacific Bell (a.ka. Cingular) cell phone email, which I depend on
with my life as it signals me of server outages, is either very very good,
receiving emails within seconds of transmission... or very very bad...
sometimes dead as a doornail. Went down completely for days, about 2-3
months ago. That bit about the delay of ''hours'' sounded hauntingly
familiar. Been pretty much stellar since that complete outage, tho'...
Keeping fingers crossed.
Cheers,

For some reason, it seems that (in the U.S. at least, which seems to be
lacking with cell phones) only alphanumeric pagers have reliable
E-mail-to-mobile-device gateways. I used at AT&T cell phone that would
often delay mail about 8 hours; a Voicestream one often had delays of
several hours or more. Both were using just one MX record, and that one MX
would often be down.
