I am still an O2 broadband customer and this service has suddenly stopped.
Why?
I still have access to webmail where I can alter the settings for Email to Mobile.
It still doesn't work.
Methinks you have dropped this service without giving any notification to the users of the service.
For a communication company that is shocking.

The thing is it's gone and everyone has to make alternative arrangements.
It does make me a bit nervous of using anything similar that O2 might come out with in future.

Good point, O2 has a bit of a track record of starting services and then stopping them now. I suspect any new services they do bring out will be profitable and sustainable though, since they can't afford to do otherwise!

One day I'll post a list of all the services that have stopped in the last 5 years!

Email to mobile didn't allow replying via SMS, it needed an email client anyway for that, and most email clients on phones these days can poll mailboxes and give notifications without too much battery/data drain.
Are you sure about that. I seem to remember there originally being a facility to send emails through SMS, though obviously within the limits of 160 characters including the address.
It may not have been connected to Email to Mobile though
