Guide Review - iPiPi
I still don't know how to pronounce iPiPi, but getting to grips with this powerful gateway between email and SMS messages was easy. iPiPi forwards messages from and to multiple email accounts and phone numbers with great flexibility.
Not only can you forward emails received at the iPiPi account to any other email address or SMS device, you can use powerful filters to make sure only the most relevant messages arrive at your cell phone, and only mail from uncle Tom are forwarded to your personal email account. And, best of all, you can reply to emails right from your cell phone with iPiPi.
iPiPi also works as a simple Web-based email service where you can collect messages from multiple accounts and send simple emails — or SMS messages.
