Re: [cobalt-users] Pager Program / Script

[Erik O <erik@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just a note, if you go this route and send an email to your cel phone
company, make sure you also send a copy to your pop account. I wouldn't
trust the Cellular company with the one and only copy of your form/order
message.

Just check the pop occasionally and make sure you didn't miss anything.

Good Luck,
Erik

I want the server to send me a so called SMS (these are short 150 chars messages sent to cell.phones, I think this system is quite well known in Europe, I'm sure there's something similar in US, but don't know what it's called there....) to my cell. phone everytime I receive an email to this POP3.
