@angel: 
Just the same if you have internet access subscription via any PTO or ISP; you cannot connect to the net to check your mail if you do not have 'credit' on your subscription. That's just the way it works, I'm afraid .

MTN has also introduced a similar product called MTN FastMail.
I think these SMS-based email services are just fine for the occassional email user who has no real need images and attachments.

Re: Globacom (Glo) mobile e-mail-to-sms and sms-to-email service
I don't see the SMS-to-email leg of this gaining much popularity. Why send SMS to email when u can achieve same objective by sending SMS to the recipient's cellphone, which he/she can read almost immediately. Except if it is free, very few people will send SMS to email.
In God we trust, Others we virus scan.

Re: Globacom (Glo) mobile e-mail-to-sms and sms-to-email service
The SMS-Email leg comes in handy when you do not have immediate access to the internet and you need to email:
1. someone outside of GSM coverage
2. official information
3. someone abroad
and a few other situations. I don't expect it to be used much but there are definitely situations in which it will come handy.

Anyway... RV2 is about introducing a new way to make good friends without knowing them facially.
This is how it really works:- send txt to 5 unknown Glo users asking 'em to be your friends (Hey! it is strictly TXT!!! no calls) get 'em to know u and get on wit issues concerning NIGERIA...!

What if you had internet access at home or the office and had used up your paid subscription; would you be able to send mails? Come on, let's be fair to these people.
