Email Service In Canada

In Canada, data plan rates are through the roof. They’ve gotten a bit better recently but is still out of reach for many Canadians.
If all you need a data plan for is to check your e-mail, then maybe there is a free alternative.

Requirements

• Cell phone capable of receiving text messages (pretty much all cellphones)

• Free unlimited (or very many) incoming text messages

• A carrier that offers E-mail to SMS messaging

• An e-mail account with forwarding capabilities (pretty much all e-mail services)

WIth most cellular service carriers, receiving text messages is free and only outgoing text messages cost money. And if your provider offers E-mail to SMS, then you can take advantage of these two facts to get your e-mail on your cell phone for free!

In fact, you’ll be receiving a notification almost instantaneously (much like push e-mail) so you don’t need to be actively checking your e-mail!
Step 1: Find your carrier’s E-mail to SMS Gateway address
Most carriers offer this service which allows e-mails sent to a special e-mail address to be forwarded as a text message to your phone. For example, with Verizon,
if you send an e-mail to:
9876543210@vtext.com

The e-mail will be forwarded as a text message to (987) 654-3210.
