value added services

Sometimes when I go out of coverage area I wish I didnt have to loose my messages and if a internet is available around, It would be great if I could get it on my mail ID. This is actually simple, the software at the operator can be modified to recognise that a mobile is out of reach and instead of saving the message for further trying, it could be instead forwarded to the user's mail ID. Probably this could be done after a fixed intreval of retries may be 15 min to 1 hour configurable by the operator. Also a notification could be sent to the sender that the user is out of coverage area or something like that. Even better would be the user to be able to reply to that mail and an SMS reaching the sender. Pricing could be the same as normal SMS charges applied on the email. This would greatly increase the SMS usage even in roaming and could be quite profitable as a mass usage occurs.
a few teki thoughts once a while... :)
