Ever wanted to be alerted somehow when you are out and about, and get a reply to a node?

Well, picture if you will the ability to know when you've had a reply, anywhere you go on your mobile handset!

Sound far fetched? Let me convince you otherwise.

My first reaction would be similar to this:

But defyance how can that be pulled off??

I'd be glad to tell you my friend!

Well, the ability to use SMS services on your phone it done by a technology similar to a mail server. Most all wireless phones with the SMS capability have an e-mail address like so: 865363****@uscc.textmsg.com.(Not getting my number that easily) So something could easily embedded in the Everything code to send a message to your handset when you get a reply, similar to being notified in the chatterbox, only a mail routine would send a message to your handset with a short message. (Needs to be less than 147 char, not including the subject and from address) Another idea that tye brought up was the /msg-to-email function, which I think is an excellent idea. Don't want the function? Then why not have an option in your user settings to turn it on/off, that simple. This is of course another hair-brained idea that probably won't fly, but its worth a shot!

Please let me know what you think!
