Slashdot Mirror
Email Notification via SMS in the US?
Joel McShiston asks: "Back in Europe I had set up a system through which urgent emails matching certain criteria were automatically forwarded upon arrival to a (free) email account which my cell phone carrier (Vodafone) provided for free with each account - {cell number}@vodafone.es. At the carrier's site I could then turn 'SMS notification of new email' on and would receive a text message telling me to check my email each time a matching email came through. I'll be soon moving to the US and would like to know whether any of you has a similar (or better) system working over there. Which kind of SMS-email 'interfacing' are you able to do on that side of the pond?"

Apple CEO Steve Jobs, recovering today from cancer surgery said, "I really feel for Taco and the gang. Those guys are truly the ones who are suffering."
Both Mac-heads and BSD gurus are holding a candlelight vigil for the ailing site, popular with the technical community since the late nineties.
Okay, I know it's an off-topic troll, but damnit, it's true (Except for the quote and the Netcraft thing, and the vigil) AND IT HAD TO BE SAID!!!
