SMSmyEmail – Receive emails on your cell phone (sans GPRS)

February 5, 2008

SMSmyEmailWanna receive your emails on the mobile phone sans GPRS connection?

SMSmyEmail is an interesting service which enables on to receive emails on mobile phone without any mandatory gprs connection. SMSmyEmail works with all the popular email services like Yahoo!/Gmail and any server which supports POP/IMAP.

What’s really cool about SMSmyEmail is that you can set filters for mails you want to/do not want to receive – i.e. restrict the smses to only those mails which are important to you.

The free service allows only 5 alerts per day and one can increase the number of alerts by inviting friends (though you get free 50 alerts once you signup). SMSmyEmail, in future will target corporates for a paid-service.

Overall, SMSmyEmail is a neat concept and has great potential; but my biggest concern is how safe/unsafe my login credentials are, in the hands of SMSmyEmail? ,

What’s your take?

A similar product – MeOnGo (just that it mandates one to have GPRS)

  • Email has become a vital tool for communication. It is the most effective and efficient method that can be used to transmit all kinds of electronic data.
    Emails brought us the freedom to communicate quickly with anyone anywhere over the internet. But, the freedom came to us at the cost of being slaves of the inbox. Each one of us today has the 'need' to access our email account in order to remain connected with our customers, suppliers and resources at least once a day to several times a day. It is this 'need' that has created the urge of Mobile Email which empowers the users to access their emails on their mobile phones.

    The power to access and manage your emails from anywhere and anytime on your mobiles is the key to success for your business which gives you freedom from being tied to your desktop or laptop computer. Majority of mobile phones, these days are WAP/GPRS compatible which empower you to access your mailbox while you are on the move. Emails on mobile give you the power to be reachable for your business associates , customers and enhance business opportunities!

    These days free mobile email solutions are available that allow you to access your corporate emails on any basic GPRS enabled mobile phone, operational with any mobile solution provider.
    One such website is www.emailatmobile.com which provides free access to corporate emails over an ordinary GPRS
    enabled mobile handset

    You can read text/pdf attachments, reply or compose new email, delete or send emails from your basic mobile handset with WAP browser 1.2 or above without being tied to your desktop or laptop.

    www.emailatmobile.com provides

    Free mobile email solution for your organization.
    Works on ordinary mobile phones with WAP 1.2 browser & above
    No need of smart phones/PDAs
    No need of installing any software on your mobile handset.
    No need of disclosing your email id and password information for configuration.
    All you need is a mobile phone capable of internet browsing.

    Which means with email@mobile - your entire organization can realize the benefits of going mobile without having to spend anything.

    Will MeonGo supports exchange servers and Lotus notes based email?
    It would be great if Meongo server can detect my ID and displays email without loging in. I have lowest version of mobile which some how has GPRS access.

    SMSmyEmail has drawback like user will get emails filtered, you are recieving SMS even if you are in remote area , though you may not want to be alerted. etc..

    why not use the inbuilt email clients on the mobile phones itself? am using myself on windows mobile and works kinda good.
  • Mobile Guru
    SMSmyEmail only supports Yahoo!, Hotmail, Gmail if you have POP functionality enabled while MeOnGo supports any mail service. Plus MeOnGo also offers alert functionality.

    So if you had to part with you password, why not trust only one service that provides SMS alerts and GPRS access. I have been using MeOnGo for 7 months now - and they have a very comprehensive mobile email experience - including support for multiple accounts and attachment viewing.
  • @Nilesh,

    I hope ad supported will be better, ppl will not pay as far as indian mkt is concerned.

    Ad supported: Start 10sec, mid 10sec and end 10sec if podcast span is of 3 to 5 min or more.
  • My 2 cents - media/marketers at times attempt to "revive" dying media (where their client has huge money) with such reports.
    I still don't believe that podcasting has any future- more about that later /post
  • Mahesh,

    Would people be willing to pay for such service? I have the know-how to build this. But I’m searching for more value-driven application ideas in order to have a robust revenue model.
  • How about PodCast2Mob?. Is there any service that offer Podcast to Mobile[Streaming] like FM Radio.
