Setting Up a "Wireless SMS via Email" Contact Method

Currently we only support SMS alerts via an SMS email address. Setting up a contact for receiving alerts through an SMS email address is simple. Follow the next couple of steps and use the related article links below to assist you in completing the setup process:

  1. Verify with your service provider that they offer sending SMS messages via email to your wireless device. This is important because this contact method relies on sending messages by email. If your service provider supports this option then you can proceed to the next step.
  2. Obtain the email address for your wireless device. Most service providers use the mobile phone number as the first part of the email address. The second part or the domain name part is a little less obvious. You will need to contact your service provider either by phone or search their website for an address to send the email to. You may find the information under "Sending Text Messages". A complete SMS email address typically look something like this example: 6105551212@mobile.att.net (this is an example for a U.S. mobile phone through the AT&T Wireless service provider)
  3. Add this new Contact Method to an existing Contact on your Contact List or setup a new Contact. For more information on how to do this see the related article links below
