    Question Vodacom SMS via e-mail

    G'day everyone

    I'm not in ZA right now and I didn't think I would need to receive an SMS on my ZA cellphone, but now I do. The people over at Vodacom's help desk doesn't seem to understand what I'm asking. I want to see my SMSes without having access to my cellphone. Can that be done? Can one get an e-mail whenever you get an SMS? Alternatively, can one somehow log into one's account at Vodacom and see a list of SMSes that you've received?

    Short of sending my SIM card back to ZA via courier, so that a friend can check my SMSes, what are my options, do you think?

    Thanks
    Samuel

    Thanks -- that is useful information.

    I've googled a bit for "roamon" and it appears that I can only activate this service from outside ZA if I already have roaming activated anyway.

    [Sorry for not replying sooner -- the forum's post notification system must be broken, because I asked for notification but I didn't get any.]
