Well if you used that, and kept it on all the time it would kill the battery just as fast. But I know you can send SMS through AIM but it says your using AIM to send it on every message. But other people can't send SMS to your AIM account unless you send them one first, and the number they reply to is not your phone number.

But I think you might have overlooked the push email option. You would just have to setup automatic forwarding all of your mail to your mail2web account and when that account receives anything your phone will download it automatically soon after it was received.

I've never used it because checking every 30 minutes is just fine for me but if you want them almost instantly as it sounds it's really the best option for you.
