Does anybody know what mobile phone has the most text allowed for a message
via smtp from the Internet? ATT allows 150 characters, as far as I can see,
but this seems rather primitive by today's standards -- I used to get more
on my pager:)
Also, does it seem like most mobile phones offer one-way e-mail text
messaging now (and I hope for free, or as part of a package deal on monthly
service)? I haven't checked out other carriers yet, but I would presume so.
In addition, it appears two-way services are becoming more prevalent and
loaded with more fine-print costs.
Note: you've used in your script used the literal in the MIME field,
'Reply-To', which indicates you are specifying a reply address different
from the 'From'. This is a useful field in the message header, if you want
a replyable address other than the sender of the message, such as generic
mailbox for customers, or the like), which use alot.
