Email To Phone - Revolutionary Tool Or High Tech Hype?

By Elena Finch


What will these technologies geeks arrive up with next? Hardly a day goes by any longer, that some new and "cool" high tech gadget or service is unveiled. Anyhow, certainly one of latest I've come across is something known as "email to telephone" and I just wanted to pass along my thoughts on this "potentially" time-saving and revolutionary device.

Email to Telephone does pretty much what the name implies. It allows you to deliver or receive e-mail messages over the phone. More specifically, it allows you to listen to email messages over the phone and it also allows you to send voice messages as email via any kind of phone - cell, satellite or land-line.

At first glance, I did not feel it was something that had a whole bunch of inherit value however the more I looked at it the more my eyes were opened. It is probably not for everyone but on the other hand, in this insane "to and fro" world, it's another certainly one of these high tech tools that can save us a little more of that most valuable and valued resource of all - time.

I've come up with a couple of reasons why "email to telephone" might be right for you.

Unreliable or Non Existent Internet Access

Internet access is not always reliable. In many parts of the world and even in a few of the less populated locations of the United states web access isn't usually what many of us have come to expect - fast and reliable.

What's nice about "email to telephone" is that you do not need internet access to carry on to stay in the communication loop because you can still send and receive email messages by way of your telephone. This technology allows you to continue to watch all of your messages no matter where you discover your self.

You can keep monitoring your e-mail even if you find yourself outside of the digital coverage area of your phone, such as deserts or mountains. In areas where you are able to no longer send text messages you can still listen to your e-mail messages because this technology also functions an analog signal.

Curiosity Killed the Cat

If you are anything like me you've turn out to be acquainted with staying in the know and now you can. You now have access to your computer's e-mail inbox pretty much anyplace, anyplace, anytime. On the one hand a pleasant advantage, but by no stretch of the imagination a life saving advantage. Nevertheless, from a reassurance or psycholo gy point of view getting the kind of access that "email to telephone" affords you is hard to put a cost on.

Multi Tasking

Receiving emails by phone is ideal for that active person on the run and in today's frantic world - who is not busy. Between work, errands, the kids and everything else we do not usually have the time to sit down in front of our computer - at work or home. But we can usually find a little dead time while traveling to check our telephone for messages.

Instant Alerts

Some people require immediate alerts. There job demands that they can be contacted at all times. Information Technology (IT) people are perfect example. If a company's web site goes down for lengthy time period, the CEO will not be pleased if the IT manager says, "Sorry, I was out to lunch."

Other people have the misfortune of needing to offer with and talk with high-tech show-offs like myself. For these unlucky individuals, who do not necessarily have the same type of enthusiasm for 21st century technology "email to telephone" could be one avenue that will permit them to join the modern world.

I've outlined just a few of the benefits of "email to telephone" and ideally I've opened your mind to the many possibilities this exciting technology has to offer. On the hand, only you are able to determine if it's right for you personally but even if you're one of those technology dinosaurs who doesn't effortlessly adapt, this technology might nonetheless be for you because it isn't only awesome but it's also easy to use. Technology... you've got to love it!
