email notifications (published listings, etc.)

I have a gmail account and a cell phone (you can have an email sent via txt using certain "@t"codes - 443***2341@vtext.com for instance for Verizon numbers using it as an email address.

I wanted notifications to be sent to my phone as I don't check gmail as much, and a txt is received instantly. (I set the phone as primary email)

it works find, I actually got 7 notifications last night for published listings (I had to put my phone on vibrate though, since they came in from 12-4 in the morning! just a warning!), however I thought with two emails on my account it would be sent to both. is there anyway I can get these notifications sent to both "emails"?????

 

if you want to know the different codes for each company, verizon, virgin mobile, etc (they have different endings), tell me and I will send them/post them to you.

 

 

also, if you are a co, this might b a good thing as you can receive text messages instead of emails from cachers. Almost as if they had your number but couldn't call you, just text, HOW COOL IS THAT??? just put your phone on vibrate for texts (text messages are much more discreet during work/night time....just a suggestion!

Notification emails aren't sent to the email addresses attached to your account. They're sent to the email address you entered in each individual notification. If you want a notification to send to more than one email address, you'll need to set up a duplicate notification and direct it to the other email address. A bit inefficient, but that's how the site works right now.
