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

Wanna 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)
