+Nebrcacher Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I wish there was a way for premium members to sign up to have a text sent to me when there is a new geocache in my area. If this has already been discussed, I aplogize for the duplication. Quote Link to comment
Pup Patrol Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Sounds like you might want to investigate getting instant notifications: http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=184 B. Quote Link to comment

If you put the address in for your notification email address you will receive the notification as a text. Quote Link to comment
+Nebrcacher Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) Thank you! You guys are awesome! In the 15 minutes since I asked the question I have my answer and am all set up. Yet another good reason to be a premium member. Edited March 22, 2012 by Nebrcacher Quote Link to comment
Team Soupbones Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 For the Geocaching Groundspeak Android App, I can't see why they can't have push notifications. I mean there are tonnes of other apps that do this. Gets to the point where it is annoying sometimes. But its certainly doable. Quote Link to comment

+TANZ!! Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I have noticed that the sending to my @vtext is faster than @gmail I tested this when I was only @gmail and a verizon cacher was getting alrets faster than me! I am guessing that SMS is much less busier than gmail! Quote Link to comment

+The A-Team Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 looking at all the comments, and tried them but nothing is working, anyone got an idea for orange uk what is is? Did you try the address on the linked Wikipedia page? That list says the address should be number@orange.net. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 This has turned into a very nice thread for helping community members set up their instant notifications to forward onto their cellphones as text messages. Since there isn't a clear feature request articulated, I am moving this topic to the "How do I?" forum. Quote Link to comment

+TeamFarsta Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Is there a way to get notification email to more then one email-adress? We have wrot more then one adress but still only get notification to the Primery emailadress. Something we can do about it? Greetings//TeamFarsta Quote Link to comment
+Lil Devil Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Is there a way to get notification email to more then one email-adress? Set up two separate notifications. Everything would be identical except the email (phone) to send it to. Or send the notification to a regular email (gmail?) and have that service forward the message to as many other emails as you want. Quote Link to comment
+Lil Devil Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Tried that a-team its not playing ball If your phone also supports MMS as well as SMS, you could send a message from your phone to your regular email address. Do this using your messaging app, not the email app. When you receive the message at your regular email, you can look at the From address to get your phone's email address. Quote Link to comment
