the more complicated it gets=2E

The SMS email (aka G-Mail) feature is useful, but the other SMS info=20=
services are a pain, as they only act as bait to make to dial the=20=
premium rate numbers to get the full story (which you can't dial=20=
unless you're a Cellnet user)=2E

Additionally I was for some time using it as my main mail address, on=20=
the basis that I'd get notified about any new email almost
immediatly=2E=20=
This is ideal as I don't log into the internet each day=2E  However, it=20=
seems to often forget to send the SMS messages, or they get lost a=20=
black hole=2E  Whatever the reason, the customer services team never
did=20=
get back to me, and of course you can't ring them=2E=2E=2E!

And like you say, it's very very very slow=2E  Try getting into it on a=20=
Saturday night!

due in October=2E=2E=2E=2E
