It appears that Kevin A. McGrail via mailop said: >I would just point out that the gateway I use is part of my cell service >so I don't consider it free but part of the service. ... Huh? American telcos have offered mail->SMS gateways because, unlike in the rest of the world, they charge for incoming SMS so it was a way to do a little traffic pumping. I don't think any of the carriers ever made any promises about how well it would work, and it should be obvious to anyone that they always have needed heavy and not particularly accurate filtering to keep the spam out. But more to the point, why do you care? The number of phones these days that can get SMS but not email rounds to zero, so if someone wants to send you mail, they can send you mail and don't need to fool around with a flaky gateway.

I would just point out that the gateway I use is part of my cell service so I don't consider it free but part of the service. A failure in that service is not something I take lightly and I open complaints with my cell provider. Perhaps others with Verizon are in the same boat but haven't consider it that way. -KAM ___ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
