Almost all correct.

Not sure about Softbank's delay, but DoCoMo is immediate as with a computer. I cannot imagine such a direct and fierce competitor offering such an alternative.

Just to confirm what was said earlier on this thread.

I CAN send SMS to my friend on softbank.
I can't get a reply back via SMS or what they are trying to use as SMS - I'm in the USA
There is a longer delay when sending to their email address on the phone versus just to their computer. This would confirm that softbank is pull instead of push email.
