Text notifications of new caches?

Yesterday I became a premium Member because I thought I saw somewhere on the site that premium members could have newly approved caches text to them. I went to try and set it up today but I couldn't find the page where I saw it at....or thought I saw it anyway.

Is there a way to receive text notifications of new caches? If so could someone please point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks,

Steve

If you want notifications sent to your phone, put your phone's e-mail in the "Send to an alternate e-mail" box. Each phone vendor is different but for verizon, it's <phone number>@vzwpix.com

I have my new cache notices sent to my yahoo mail account. Then I have a filter set in the yahoo mail from Groundspeak that sends me a text to my phone telling me there is mail from them.

Oh,OK I'm not sure what I was reading yesterday. I thought I could have them sent to my phone by text message without going through the email. I will have to call alltel tomorrow and get the email on my phone turned on. Or I might try going through my yahoo mail like bugsmasher69. I'm going to check into it right now.

 

Thanks for the replies

OK, I get it now. :D I'm glad I checked this topic again before I ended up paying for extra stuff on my phone bill. I wasn't aware that a text message could be sent through email to a cell phone.

 

Thanks for all the help

Technically, the EMail is being delivered as a text message... :D

 

Just be aware that the message can be delayed up to several hours by the extra steps involved.

With Verizon, that also happens. So, have them sent as pictures instead (note the "@vzwpix.com"). It costs .25 per message vs the .20 for a text msg but it's all in one message. Or, go for the "plan" that has a breakeven point of 40 messages.
