Hello,

I want to receive emails to my mobile. Currently I am with T-mobile and it takes about 40-60min for email to find its way. Support says this is normal.

Anyone could share their experiences with other mobile networks to identify the speediest?

question:
are you emailing your mobile (like [email protected]) or do you have your phone setup to go check an e-mail account (like any windows mobile phone)?

e-mailing a cell phone directly takes an ungawdy amount of time. doesn't really matter who the carrier is in the U.S.

now, if your a coder, you might want to check if tmobile has a web service you could write to that would send an SMS to your phone. Sprint does/did. It's been a while since I checked.

that may be the other alternative.

Yes, nondisclosure00, I am doing it simplest possible way as you say. All this server thing is flying over my head really.
I had a hope that this is just t-mobile but I see now it is the case for all mobile email? Anybody who knows otherwise please let know.

Thanks

Definitely not the case for all mobile email. I use Sprint and at&t, emails sent to the mobile address (number@sprintpcs or @att.text.net) are received nearly instantaneously, maybe 5 seconds. Emails from my exchange server are pushed to my mobile smartphone instantaneously.

I have sprint and verizon. Verizon is about 2 minute delay. Sprint "most" of the time is instantaneous, but I get about 1 in every 100 that never show up.

If I set the mobile outlook on my phone to check an account every 5 minutes, it's on the ball.

I don't do the forwarding your talking about on any server.

I used to do SMS which was the fastest of all of them, but that was sometime ago and I can't find the dll I wrote to use the web service that is/was offered up by Sprint.
