Do you think that people will receive the email at the same time that the text messages are received

?

Because I actually don't have a cell phone at the moment, so I had to sign up for the email.

And I'm keeping Yahoo! Messenger logged in because I have an email address with them and it alerts you when you receive mail.

So I'm not sure about how the logistics of sending text messages and emails to millions of people at the same time would work.

I'm assuming that there will be some kind of delay?

1. I'm not sure... I think the emails' speed will be different depending on what type of email service

you have. The people with free email service like GMail (like I do) or Yahoo will probably get it slower or faster depending on different factors like the filters and such. The SMS might also be staggered-- not sure on the details there.

2. I write email and texting programs and do testing...

to me it seems the emails come faster.

3. I hope so

I have a pay-as-you-go cell and it doesn't work with the Obama campaign's txt messaging program.
