If the sender's message is longer than 100 characters, it will be broken-up into parts. You will only receive the first message and you will have to retrieve the other parts of the message:
1. In the title of the message you will see Email ? Part 1 of * where ? will be a letter, * is the number of parts the message is split into. For example Email A Part 1 of 5
2. At the end of the first text message you will see "4 nxt part txt ?"
3. Create a new text message with the letter that is indicated by ? above. Send this message to 212, which will be charged at $0.80
So, here is the catch. If you don't tell people to whom you give the Mobal e-mail address about the 100-character limit, then you have to pay $0.80 to retrieve the part(s) of a long message after the 100th character.... But it you e.g. create a max 100-character text field on your website which after accepting sends an e-mail to a Mobal phone, it might be quite useful. BTW, doesn't "+" character in the e-mail address cause any problems when sending e-mails?

Thank you very much for information .
