Cache alerts via texts

[+luv2dogs]

Last year I signed up with teleflip in order to have notifications of new caches to get sent from my e-mail to my phone. It was great....even had a couple FTF's. However, for whatever reason it has stopped working. I have attempted to contact Teleflip, but no answer has come and now their phone number is no longer good. Does anyone know of another way I can get my e-mails to my phone? Please help, as I miss the fun of rushing out for that FTF!

Why not set up another notification to go to your phone as text messages? If that is what you are looking for

DiamondDaveG post on this page, second post, tells you how.

Does that mean that I will no longer get the e-mails? When I used teleflip I received the notifications through my e-mail and via text messages.

Keep your notifications for your e-mails so you get those and set up new ones to go to your phone. Just fill in the "send to another e-mail address" box and use your carrier from the page listed above.

Thanks so much. I saw that before, but thought that it meant that I had to use one or the other.

Teleflip’s final Flipmail?

SMS email provider Teleflip is shutting down their Flipmail service on Friday. When they premiered at DEMO in 2007, the premise was that everyone could have email on their mobile phone, without having to buy a smart phone. The company burst onto the scene with a coast-to-coast PR blitz resulting in breathless headlines with the message that any cellphone could act like a BlackBerry. Now that smartphones have reached the tipping point, driven by red hot products from Apple and RIM, it’s easy to see how Teleflip would have come under increasing pressure.

 

And so, in a manner befitting Teleflip’s business, just a few minutes ago I received the final Flipmail from the team. Delivered by SMS in three pieces it reads:

 

Subj: Important Note From Teleflip

 

Dear Teleflip Beta User: Thanks for being part of the beta testing group using our Flipmail service, however, we are now ending this service. We’ve gone as far as we can with our financial sources, and the piggy bank is empty. Effective Friday August 15, 2008 at 9:00AM Pacific Daylight Time,

 

Ex-employees I spoke with spoke of budgetary cuts, and that most employees, excepting the C-Suite, had been laid off in January to reduce burn in an effort to conserve cash while raising additional capital. None could confirm that the company was indeed winding up, however, and suggested I reach out to CEO Tony Davis. We’ll see what he has to say.

 

Judging by the fact that their website security certificate expired 4 days ago, I would say that things don’t look promising.
