Fast long instant messages

I have a vx6700 and I’d like to be able to receive (no need to send) long messages VERY quickly. Is there any inexpensive hack, software or service that would allow me to do this? I have no control over my sender's environment and the sender has to be able to send the message to an address in email format like xxxxx@yyyy.com through a normal email system that they have. The messages will be between 1000 - 3000 characters long.

I need to get these messages as fast as I would get a sms message. But sms messages have a 160 char. limit. When I try to send a sms message to my phone via email (using myphonenumber@vtext.com) , I just receive the 1st 160 characters -- the rest is lost completely. I don't even receive multiple text messages containing the rest of the email. I have read in this forum that some people do receive several sms messages containing the rest. Is this a problem with my individual phone? If so, how do fix that?

Anyway, I tried sending test messages to myphonenumber@vcwpix.com (MMS?) but delivery and viewing (downloading) takes way too long. I’d try any solution even if it cost up to $100 as long as it delivered the the speed of delivery of SMS with the length I need. If the message has to go to a third party first and then get relayed to me, I think this would slow delivery down, so, I'm not sure I'd like that idea. I'd like to avoid monthly cost if possible.

If sms is method of delivery, I would need to know how the solution would impact the 250 message limit I have on text messages.
Thanks
