    hello everyone,
    I will be happy to learn of the perfect solution to my projects difficulty. I want to set up a 100% free email services and want to integrate an sms alert/notification on it such that subscribers can choose to recieve sms alert of new incoming emails base on their instruction ,such that the subscriber is billed on his/her mobile phone and i generate money from revenue sharing with the mobile carriers ,etc. please what is the technical implication ? thanksssss

    When ever someone sends me an sms message its free. Depending on the carrier it will be free to receive messages you cant stop people from sending you them so they shouldnt charge you for it.

    As far as building the script that will notify a user that they have new mail thats an easy one. All you have to do is make a script that will look in an inbox and email a users cell phone when a new message arrives.

    thanks for your advice . but i'd like you to explain further. my question is ,
    1.are u saying that with a script that will look into inbox this will send a notification to subscribers mobile phone ? what are other detailed script that will make it work.
    2.are u saying the subscribers can not be charge base on this new technology of sms micro billing/payment ? then who will be responsible for the fees/payment ?
    3.i live in Nigeria and i feel this should be possible ,that is subscribers to be billed on their account, however give me more details.

    Yes I can write up a script that will monitor a users inbox to determin if new messages have arrived and send their phone an email letting them know that they have new messages waiting. As far as other detailed scripts I dont know because I would just code it up myself.

    Well im in Canada and with my provider the way it works is that you cant really stop anyone from sending you txt messages or emails so they dont charge me to RECIEVE messages. Sending messages from my phone is a different story.

    You are probably right. It really matters completely on the provider. If the Cell phone service provider charges for you to recieve emails and txt messages to your phone or not.
