Here’s some information on ifbyphone, a service that brings email to people that either can’t use or don’t have access to a computer.

According to an email that I received: Using ifbyphone, one can retrieve and send Email, access websites, and perform Internet searches – all by voice from any phone. Additional features include wake-up, reminder, and Email alert calls,
chat rooms and games – including Texas Hold-em poker. No computer is needed – ifbyphone can supply Email accounts as well.

One feature that I thought was particularly interesting was ifbyphone’s capability to “scan deep”. You can set the ifbyphone personalization feature to “set up our system to scan deep into your unread email messages every 15 minutes to check for a specific email address, word or phrase. When that email arrives, ifbyphone will call you wherever you are and read it to you.”

Consumer plans range in price from $6.95 to $19.95 a month, and small business plans range from $29.95 to $399.95. All plans include VoMail, VoPlace, VoMe and Extras.

According to the ifbyphone site:
