A couple of days ago, I was pretty stoked to find out that I could send email to my Rogers cell account. Seeing as I'm now spending most of my day away from the computer *gasp*, I figured that getting my e-mail would make things easier. Since I have an utterly kickass gmail account, I knew that anything that came into my mail box would easily be forwarded to my cell, unlike my shitty hotmail one. I had all this cool shit planned out for my cell. I was going to use one of those RSS subscription services to send feeds to my e-mail account, allowing me to pretty much have all the web access that I'd need on my phone. Pretty cool, eh? Unfortunately for me, Rogers has this bullshit policy of billing me for emails received as text messages. To receive a message, I have to text Rogers to authorize it, a 15 cent fee each time. To make matters worse, there's a 160 character limit per message, which means that depending on the length of the message, you'll be shelling out more money. Pretty shitty. I heard that this policy is a relatively new, just added last month. , so I'm not the only one being burned. Hopefully Rogers realizes the error of their ways and reinstitues their old system, but seeing as they're a money hungry corporation, it's quite doubtful.
Le sigh!
