Archived from groups: alt.cellular.fido (More info?)
In another newsgroup, I've heard that the email to SMS gateway for Rogers now,
instead of sending the email to the handset, sends a notification and the user
then must respond to the SMS in order to get the actual SMS. (something about
accepting charges for the SMS).
Ths would be truly annoying if it were to happen to Fido. (and will eventually
happen once we're folded into Rogers).
Interestingly, people are now going around this by embedding the message in
the from: email address thus not requiring the handset user to respond to the
SMS to get the email since the confirmation SMS includes the "from" address.
(eg: you have an SMS from <user@domain.tld>, reply with "R" to get the message).
Just set "user" to contain the whole message...
