Google Voice text notifications via email

Google Voice recently added a nice feature for those of us not able to use a dedicated Google Voice app on our phones. Mainly, iPhone users.

You now have the option to be notified by email when someone sends a text to your Google Voice phone number. This is extremely useful considering the only way to check for texts before was by a manual refresh of the web app. You then have the option to reply to the text straight from your email, too. Sure, it still doesn't get you that instant communication like a typical text, but at least you will be notified shortly thereafter.

You can learn how to enable this option and read the full details here: http://googlevoiceblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/receive-and-reply-to-sms-messages-by.html

Sprint's new "Any Mobile, Anytime" plan

Sprint has offered their "Simply Everything" plan for some time now. You get all the unlimited features (calling, text, data, etc.) for a flat rate of $99.99/month. Which in and of itself, is not a bad deal. However, today they started offering their "Any Mobile, Anytime" plan for only $69.99/month. It's basically the same thing, except your unlimited free calling is limited to other cell phones only. Most people nowadays use a cell phone as their primary phone. So for the average Joe this is a great deal. If you need to make a call to a land line, there are 450 minutes included with your plan, so no sweat!

Finally, a very aggressively priced cell phone plan. This is what I like to see, and it's great for the consumer.

Now if only they had the iPhone, I could be saving $15 bucks a month!
