+CrimsonWrath Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I've got a suggestion. It doesn't sound too difficult to me (from where I'm sitting ). Could an alert be sent to a cell phone via email for the alerts that are currently going to our email account? The cell phone alerts would be much smaller in length so that they would fit in the small limits often found on cell phones. There's a lot of text in the normal email that really isn't necessary on the cell phone. I would like to see things like: [username] logged [find/not found/etc] on [cache name] at [date/time]. [username] [dropped/picked up] travel bug named [bug name] at [date/time] in cache [cache name]. Seems to me to pull this feature off the site would need to accept an additional email address and perhaps a flag indicating if they want that type of notification. Would anyone else find this useful? Thanks for your consideration of this feature, implemented or not! Link to comment
The Cuthberts Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Is that free over there in the US ? We have to pay to send a text message (10 pence in my case) Andy Link to comment
+CrimsonWrath Posted July 17, 2003 Author Share Posted July 17, 2003 On a service plan that I have, I get 100 free. Then it costs $0.02 to recieve a message and $0.10 to send one. It isn't free, but it isn't too bad depending on the plan they sign you up for. You've gotta agree to a long term commitment (generally 2 years) so it has its down sides! Link to comment
+Hillbilly Cacher Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 I like the idea of the cell phone. I have ATT wireless. Which has free incoming and $0.10 to send. Link to comment
+Team Shibby Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 I cant speak for any other cell providers but if I send a text message from my phone it cost 10cents but if I send it from the AT&T website it is free. It is always free to recieve messages on your phone, or at least with AT&T. Kar Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 It used to be free, then they decided to charge for it. I depends on the plan. Link to comment
