Mobile mail

Mobile phone users in Britain can now pay to have their phone number double
up as an e-mail address. A new service, called Mobe.Net, allows people to
receive e-mails using any GSM phone or pager for £10 per month. To send a
message, e-mailers simply add the cellphone number before the @ sign, such as
123456mobe.net. However, because you receive the text message using the
standard short messaging service (SMS), you can only read the first 158
characters of any e-mail.
