Dear WeatherCat faithful,
Many of us have come to rely on text-messaging instead of emails. Thankfully, it is possible to use the WeatherCat email feature to send text-messages directly to your phone. This all described in this posting by Dave13:
https://athena.trixology.com/index.php?topic=3461.msg33189#msg33189It is so useful that I am going to repeat it here as a sticky topic so it is easier to find:
You can receive text alerts from WeatherCat by sending it like an email directly to the mobile number.
I have my admin emails in WeatherCat setup to go to both an email account and text to me and it works well, attached is a screen shot of a test message received by text.
These cellular service providers can send email to text using the following format:
AT&T:
5551234567@mms.att.net
Verizon:
5551234567@vtext.com
T-Mobile:
5551234567@tmomail.net
Sprint:
1234567890@messaging.sprintpcs.com
If you use a different provider do a web search for "'your provider name' email to text".
If you use more than one address, separate each with a comma and space.
Attached to the original post is an example of a text successfully send from WeatherCat. I have also tried it on my own installation of WeatherCat and it works perfectly!
Please WeatherCatters share your experiences with using WeatherCat to send texts to your phone in this thread!
Cheers, Edouard
