This one is actually very good. My Yahoo mails pops up on the mobile and I can see the first part of it. Click on link to see rest of e-mail. Of course, you have to go to a PC to check out the full monty.

Using a DTAC SIM on WM6 (Pocket IE) - "Sorry ! wap.djuice.co.th is only for DTAC valid subscribers."

How far do you think I'll get if I mention this to support?

Good luck with that. Try entering: wap.dtac.co.th

Nikster: The lady at service center said 30 baht per month fixed fee, but free until October.

In the US where in some cases it doesn't cost to receive SMS I've been doing this for donkey's years. I've had scripts that process the mail as it's delivered to my server and "email" my telephone both the subject etc plus chunk up the actual message across several messages.

Pretty useless if you also have to have a GPRS connection for this.

I could do the same thing here in Thailand but with prepaid I think it still costs to receive SMS so it's not a cost effective solution here but the push nature of it is very nice.

If you could receive for free or pay for a package and email the device via #@dtac.co.th etc... then it would be useful since then you can forward what you want to your phone. but it looks like this is ill conceived if it only supports the public mail services like gmail etc.

I've been paying 350 thb per month for 100 hours on AIS prepaid and it's been working out quite well I have to say.

Pretty useless if you also have to have a GPRS connection for this.

GPRS works out way more expensive. 30baht a month fixed fee as opposed to a per byte/minute cost....my missus regularly passes 1500 baht per month, and that's just mailing me, or me mailing her phone....
