Managing email while away from the desk is has become essential to keeping on top of business. Fortunately for business people today, most cell phones are capable of receiving and sending emails. All that is usually required is a cell phone capable of receiving text messages, a cellular service provider that and the installation of the proper software onto your phone.
Any phone that can receive text messages already has an email address. You just need to find out what it is from your provider. When someone sends an email message to your phone’s address, it gets turned into an SMS message and it will appear on your phone within seconds of being sent.
Here are some of the basic facts you need to know about cellular email:
1. Cellular emails have a maximum length, usually around 160 characters, and this maximum generally includes the sender's email address, subject line, and callback number.
2. Any information longer than the allowable maximum is cut off and discarded.
3. Cell providers usually charge extra for the service, either a cost per message or a bulk rate
for anyone sending and/or receiving a lot of email messages.
A less costly – and often free – option is using a free web-based account such as Gmail or Yahoo. You just need to make sure your phone has access to the Internet. If it does, sign up for a free web-based account such as Gmail or Yahoo. You use your cell phone to access to access the website and read emails and attachments of any size. The email remains on the website’s servers and can be accessed later from a home or office computer. This option works with a cell phone or a PDA, or Personal Digital Assistant.
