If you’ve even been stuck in one of those "I have to look that up later" moments, where you just wished you could send yourself an email as a reminder, then you’ll appreciate Jotterbot.

An entirely free service (apart from the cost of a normal SMS message), Jotterbot comes from the people behind Zygo, the company that specialises in group texting services.

All you have to do is head over to the site, register your phone and your email, go through the normal confirmation process (to prove you are not spamming someone else...) and hey presto, you can SMS yourself an email.

So if your phone doesn’t have email, or you don’t have a data package, then head over to the website, stick Jotterbot in your address book and you’ll always know you can email yourself whilst out and about.

Or you could use a pen and paper, but what fun is that?

  • Is this service slightly useless with technology on modern handsets anyway?

    Why spend time emailing yourself via SMS when you can SMS yourself, leave a calender note, put the item in the 'to do list', email direct from your phone to another email address, set a reminder etc...

    Pointless to be fair... quirky, but pointless all the same.

  • I agree, what is the point of this?
    I suppose, if I want more spam going to my email address and/or my phone then I would do it, but I am not that lonely.

  • Jotterbot wasn't created as a commercial service- it's definitely not for super efficient PDA toting folks. We hope some people might like Jotterbot because they find mobile email too fiddly..or they forget to check their draft texts and notes..or they tend to write scrappy notes that got lost at the bottom of their bag...but mainly we hope some people like it because it's a way to remind yourself that's just a bit of fun.

    And Jotterbot would never spam anyone! He's insulted at the thought!
