I relied on this service for a lonngg time and now I get a notice that they (hotmail) are ‘upgrading’ and REMOVING this service?? How can removing a feature be an upgrade?? I cannot afford a smart phone, I and I can’t be online 24/7 I just want to get a simple text alert (like I used to at hotmail) giving the time/sender/subject and maybe a line of the actual email to help me stay on top of my online biz email/questions/etc are there ANY other email services that provide this feature, now that after may 31st I won’t get it via Hotmail anymore???
