Question about cell phones

SheepGuy · 2011-06-27, 01:43 AM

I'm a Luddite, and I don't own one, so I don't know.
I've got a decent sized local email list and I usually send out messages around 1 a.m. once or twice a month.
If someone is on a cell, do they get some kind of a ring or signal every time they get an email? Anything that would wake them up and piss them off?

If you hit one of the two email addresses, and weren't sent to a subfolder, yes, I would get an alert. With the ease of setting up an email account, I would suspect a lot of people would probably get notified by default. People get smart phones to be connected - knowing when someone sends email, tweets about finding a parking space, etc is quite prevalent, so, I would think a lot of people would get a notification.

I have sound alerts for emails turned off as does everyone that I know but on most smart phones they are on be default.

If I did have them turned on my iPhone would be going off at least once an hour 24/7.
