122755 2003-02-21 02:11:00 Is it possible to send an e-mail message (not a text message) to a cellphone (mobile phone)? If so , how so?
Thanks

122756 2003-02-21 02:49:00 Obviously the receiver needs to have an Email enabled phone. Apart from that all you will need is the receivers Email addy. mikebartnz (21)
122757 2003-02-21 04:18:00 As far as I am aware, cellphones do not have an IP address .

Therefore you can send an e-mail to a site that has an IP address and that the cellphone (WAP enabled) could access and view the e-mail, but not a pure PC to Phone email service . I believe this has been in operation for years .

GPRS may make this closer to reality perhaps?

122758 2003-02-21 04:57:00 Am I paranoid when I suggest that this could be expensive? They want their customers to pay the indecent amounts they paid for "3G" frequencies. Unfortunately, no-one has come up with any use for 3G. Graham L (2)
122759 2003-02-21 04:57:00 My email address at Vodafone is

6421XXXXXX@sms.vodafone.net.nz

I set it up through Vodafone after complaining of their 027 to 021 txt service being slow.

(XXXXXX - is obviously my cell number)

There is a cost involved, and I have it charged back at 20c per email to my account. So it's free to send the email, but I pay for receiving it as a txt msg.

Hope it helps.

Lo.

122760 2003-02-21 06:03:00 About 2 years ago I set up an email account on Vodafone. I have a prepay Vodafone and simply used the Vodafone NZ web site. Anyone at all could send me a text message using email, from anywhere in the world. I set it up as an experiment and recall that two of my friends overseas sent me email to my Vodafone. Worked perfectly. Presumably it still works, but have not tried it for yonks. Steve_L (763)
