On: Show HN: Puput, listen to your email for free when traveling, using missed calls

I'd definitely use this if I could just forward specific emails to an address for them to be read out.

I'm pretty sure I've implemented this in Asterisk once, years ago, but Asterisk is a real pain.

Kudos for seeing it through.

Edit: Oh, right, I was assuming you asked for an oauth token to my mailbox, but forwarding makes more sense

Yes, that's the basic use case actually.

We provide an email address, you create some filters, and any incoming message will be read to you.

Feel free to ask if you have more questions!

I'm not sure it will work in Australia. I'm pretty sure Telstra will charge for an international call from a cell, even if it's not "picked up"

Edit: works - now let's see if I'm charged

Great! Did you get charged? We haven't yet found any telco that charges for missed calls, but if you did, please let us know so that we can warn other users :)

I don't think so, but the usage details from Telstra can take a while to show up.
