That's a pretty good idea, i.e. using the currently working internet connection (you could even then send nice incriminating info such as the access point name, it's MAC address, and stuff )

HOWEVER, there is one feature with the existing functionality that I like, which is why I would REALLY like you to keep the existing functionality as an option: This makes the phones IP public (well, on my ISP anyway) whereas it's IP on WLAN probably is private. So now after it has sent an email, I can then SSH directly into the phone (I have DYNDns set up for my phone)

Of course, one could also make this a new command:

"GetGPRSIP", would switch the phone to GPRS, try to connect, and sends that IP back in an SMS (or email, as configured).

Again, many thanks for glorious software. You should have a paypal tipjar!
