When I moved over to Windows Mobile I really missed this feature! I searched around looking for software that could duplicate this feature but turned up empty handed. After thinking about what I was trying to accomplish I came up with a pretty decent workaround.
The Level 1 Work Around:
- In Outlook I set-up a new rule under "Rules and Alerts" that will forward any message with the work "HELP" in the subject line to my cell phone's SMS gateway email address.
- Before I go to bed I turn ActiveSync, on my phone, to sync "Manually". This way my phone will not check and alert me to new messages.
- I set my SMS ring tone to be a really long tone so that it wakes me up (I am a heavy sleeper). Another option would be to install software like PhoneAlarm that will repeat the notification (which I wish was built into Windows Mobile).
It works great. Hope this workaround helps others in my same situation! BTW, if you know of a better way please drop me a comment.
