Easily forward emails as text messages

Easily forward emails as text messages

This is a pretty cool service. Most of my friends live on their cell phones. Many of them are constantly traveling. Ever needed to forward details contained in an email to a phone? This is a handy way to do it.

Teleflip’s Flipmail service automatically redirects email from pre-approved senders to your cellphone as text messages. Yes, you have to provide your email password so some people are going to have a problem with that but you can turn it on and off whenever you want so it works fine on a per occasion basis.

The service is supposed to work both ways, too, in that replying to a “flipped” email from your cellphone in turn generates an email that looks as though it came from your email account.
