I did not receive the text message for 20 minutes.
I received the emails almost instantly.
The text messages I received via my cell phones were incomplete. Comparing them to the text in the email messages, I saw that the majority of the last sentence of each was missing. In the first message, this told you what action to take, so it was an important piece. I checked with several other colleagues and they had the same experience.

Posted by Yolanda Nieto at February 22, 2008 01:20 PMThere is a big problem with the cell phone messages. You can send only 160 characters. Included in the 160 characters is all the FROM,SUBJECT and other header garabge.
For TEXT-ME to be usuefull for most cell phone, you either have to shorten the messages or break the message up into multiple messages. (the latter perfered)
I also did not receive the message on my cell until over 10 mintues after the e-mail.
