Not true tim, the SMS method was a part of the pre-WM5 "as emails arrive" mechanism, it sounds like your device was set up incorrectly or you're not using WM5. We have 25 handsets (WM5 smartphone and handheld) and there's no SMS usage (free or otherwise). Speak to MSIT!

Just a little more actually, sorry for the spam, but direct push under WM5 is quite simple, using an HTTP/HTTPs connection which persists for 25min or thereabouts, if no email arrives in that time then a new connection is made, if mail arrives before the 25min then the webserver simply responds and the device syncs, and then opens a new connection... no involvement of SMS.
