Hello,

 

Who is your e-mail provider and ISP?

 

Also, I am moving your thread from the Geocaching Topics forum to the Geocaching.com Web Site forum.

I am using Qwest.

They use @Msn.com

Again there was a cache 1.2 miles from my home. I Still not getting email or cell Notifications about new caches being published. I even resetup the Notifications. Still nothing..

Is there anyone that can help me

[+Team Taran]

I would suggest as an experiment you create a free gmail account and have your notifications sent there. I know MSN has failed to deliver geocaching emails in the past.

Where can you set up cell phone (SMS) notifications? I see an option to use email notifications and I have a few set up, but nothing about cell phone notifications.

You can set it up the same way. Check this post of mine from a similar thread.

Yes, there are no actual SMS notifications. All notifications are sent as email.

 

You can input the SMS Gateway for your cell phone carrier in order to get the messages sent to your cell phone.

 

Here's a fairly complete list I found recently.

SMS will give you the notification however due to SMS character limitations (160 characters) it cuts it to almost unusable after the header is in there.

 

To get the whole message, it is easier to use the MMS email found here. For instance, in Verizon instead of using xxxxxxxxxx@vtext.com you would use the MMS equivalent of xxxxxxxxxx@vzwpix.com. xxxxxxxxxx being your phone number.

 

MMS does not have the character limitations of SMS.

 

MMS stands for Multimedia Messaging System and is what is used to transport pictures and videos. Some services may charge extra or have a addition to your plan, so check first.

Okay I check all the My cell is able to email also. SMS ALSO MMS

But I am still not getting to my email address I have XXXXXX@msn.com I have got one though email for than 3 weeks I would like I would like to get Notifications to my email address.......

[+todd300]

I never had a problem with notifications. I use Roadrunner for my e-mail and Sprint for my cell. Got notifications on both without fail.

 

As for the MMS thing, I don't need that so as long as I get the GCXXX number in the text. All I have to do is enter that number on the website which loads the cache page. I then download the gpx file and I'm good to go.

 

Joe, I don't think Groundspeak is the problem. There are several freebie web e-mail addresses that you can use.

 

There's yahoo, gmail, hotmail, rocketmail and many others. Keep trying a free e-mail service until you find the one that works for you.

 

Good luck.

There might be a problem with your email provider. Try another provider (such as GMail) and see if they come through.

I tried Gmail I still did not get Email Notifications of new caches. And also My Cell phone does have email.

So. I changed my email to my main service XXXXXXXX@msn.com. But now waiting for a new cache in my area now.

Hoping for the best...

You don't need to be able to get e-mails on your cell phone to get notifications. The e-mail address on the list is just a gateway, it 'converts' the message and you receive it as a text message.
