It's always been to unreliable for a general email service, but it is
a very useful way of being able to have an emergency email
notification sent to your mobile. You can also send the occasional
emergency email from your mobile. Usually :-(
It's really quite amazing for how many years they've been diddling
about with it without being able to stop crashing it every other time
they "improve" it. Whereas man and dog outfits like Locust were able
to set up far more comprehensive easily used and reliable
services. Orange even bought them up to try and learn from them, and
weren't able even to manage that. Institutionalised stupidity.
