+Raider74 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I currently have notifications set to send Newly Published alerts to my home email. However, by the time I check it its often too late to try to go for FTF's. I tried creating a SMS email address from my cell phone number that would change my phone number into an email address (For Verizon users its your cell phone number + @vtext.com). I added it into my notification settings and I got a text message "email" from geocaching right away. The problem is that it wants to verify this email address? I don't know how to verify it since its not a real email address. When I try to click on the link in my text, it just sends me to the geocaching website. I thought it might work without it being verified but it doesn't seem to. Any suggestions?? Thanks for any help and ideas!! Quote Link to comment
+Raider74 Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 HA!!! Thanks to some old posts about this subject, I figured it out!! Extra special thanks to bobandpatty who figured out that if you use vzwpix.com instead, the verification link will work! Worked like a charm! 2 Quote Link to comment
+smokejumper94 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Glad I found this thread, been trying to get the text for a while and yes always got the “404 Error DNF” message when trying to validate. Looks like the vzwpix.com worked. At least it validated. Thanks Quote Link to comment
