An alternate way to get notified with MSN ot Hotmail is to set up email notifications alerts at the Hotmail web page. All you have to do is register you phone & number in the options section of your email. You can set it up to receive alerts from emails you receive, to traffic reports, ect.. The draw back to this method is that it will send a text message to your phone for all the alerts you set up, ie. email, traffic, news, sports, ect.. So depending on your monthly text allowance you may want to limit your alerts to lets say, only alert new emails from contact list only. Anyway hope that helps.
