Write your own gateway. 3. use the email address provided by your phone operator (eg: number@operator), and redirect the mail to it. Often it's only a mail notify service, so only subject is sent to the phone. I've a perl script which put all the content of a mail in a subject then send it. If someone is interested, mail me privately. Btw, someone talked about software available for that in the ports.
