"Be prepared" is the motto of the Boy Scouts and I agree. So I tested how my network of messaging works. I have a mobile phone that can send mms, sms and connect to the internet. It can send email. SMS and voice calls are pretty much one on one. What you have to check here is the ubiquity and security of your contact list. Is the addressbook backed up? You may want to check if you can access this contact file in multiple locations. To accomplish this you can save it in your cloud service. I have been using Dropbox and Ubuntu One for that.
The previous post is a test sent from my mobile phone to my blogs. I first sent an MMS. I have Smart as my mobile service provider. After several minutes later, I sent an email post with attachment to the blogs using my mobile phone. These latter action delivered first and appeared on my blogs right away. My blogs are using dlvr.it which is a service that dellivers new posts to destinations like Twitter and Facebook.
And so well within the 15 minute threshold, my Twitter account received the tweet of the new posts. My facebook account received the updates also within the 15 minutes promised by the service.
What about the MMS I sent before the emails?
They too posted although several minutes later than the ones done through the emails. The explanation is that Smart, my mobile service, actually puts MMS sent to a service que if you like. They charge 10 pesos for the email connection and 2.50 pesos each MMS sent in my mobile phone. So because MMS service is "shared" it is cheaper.
