I’ve been trying to explain this to Orange but after dealing with a few idiots in Indian call centres I’ve decided to wait until Monday to give the locals a chance.
Basically I need emails send to a chosen email address ie. [email protected] to be received on my phone as a text message.
This would utilise an SMS messaging gateway and it looks like they do/did do it.
Has anybody got this functionality on their phone?

Not as a text, but I receive all my emails straight to my iPhone. It sets off a tone and lets me know they are there, and downloads regularly from my email account.
I also run multiple accounts, so I never miss an email.
No good, I need it as described for a specific service.

I’ve heard of voicemails being dictated to text, but that was a paid service. never heard of email > text
O2 definitely do this. You configure it through the member’s area on the website, have you looked in the members area on the Orange one?
email to sms is a bit old hat these days… I doubt any of the main networks would really support it. This company does it but it will cost you… http://www.txtlocal.co.uk/prices/
Orange wouldn’t do it for nothing, they charge for everything. Never heard of them doing email 2 text, (after 10 years with them). The emails use to look like text on the older phones (before the iphones - 5+ years ago). Shouldn’t be getting through to India tho.
Finally got it working through their email section on their website. It sends the alert within ten seconds but it’s merely a text alert you receive it doesn’t tell you the whole message.
