RSS Feed To Email Inbox


          FeedMyInbox is one of the simplest websites to use.  All you need is a website that has an RSS feed (look for the blue or orange icon in your url address bar) and an email address.  You type in the website and your email address and hit submit.  You should get a confirmation email, and you will receive an email about your site within 24 hours of confirmation.  It is useful because there are some news sites that I will forward to my phone so I can read it when I want.  This is free and requires little work to setup.  Check it out for yourself with the provided link above and get daily news delivered right to your email.
          And with my post on how to Receive Email on Any Phone, this is available to everyone.  If you have any comments please leave them below and thanks for reading.

Receive Email Free for Any Phone


Ever gaze at a person who is checking their email on their blackberry and think how nice that must be? If I had that I would be more efficient with my work, or would be able to communicate to more people. The only thing that is stopping you from getting email for your phone is that it's is not worth the money (that is my reason) or maybe your phone doesn't support it. Now, there is a free solution for it. The only requirements you'll need is a phone with a text messaging plan (preferably unlimited Texting plan) and an email account with email forwarding. There are many email services with free forwarding such as Gmail. As of recent Yahoo does not allow you to use email forwarding for free, so unless you want to pay $20 a year for it, I suggest you use a free email forwarding provider. Now after you have an email account with email forwarding, you need to set it to forward your emails to your phone. Your address depends on your wireless service provider, here is a list:

T-Mobile: phonenumber@tmomail.net
Virgin Mobile: phonenumber@vmobl.com
Cingular: phonenumber@cingularme.com
Sprint: phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
Verizon: phonenumber@vtext.com
Nextel: phonenumber@messaging.nextel.com


Where it says "phonenumber" you put your 10 digit phone number (including area code). And after you set your email to forward to your phone's email address your are done! The great part about this is that you can even reply to emails as well. So with an unlimited texting plan, feel free to email as much as you want, right from your phone.
Have any more questions about setting your phone up? Feel free to leave a comment and I will respond as soon as I can. I hope you enjoyed this post.
