ummm. Aint SMS to mail or generally mobile to email is called MMS? i cant
Erhm?! MMS is *Multimedia* Messaging Service, through which you can send rich media such as graphic images and ringtones. In contrast, SMS allows only text.
see why you would rather send a 160 - 480char SMS to email while MMS can send 1000 chars + attachment. doing the reverse is also readily supported by telcos.
I can think of a few situations, and have already done it at least once, some seven years ago. I was on the road and needed to send an urgent message to someone in Cebu. I knew that if she was at her desk, she'd have her email client open, and would be able to receive my message. OTOH, I didn't have to receive any reply and would not likely be able to anyway because my contact in Cebu didn't have a cell phone. Now that think about it, she could've replied through my pager but it really doesn't matter anymore :) -- Daniel O.
