Re: Can't get SMS messages to work at all
So I need to use a 3rd party SMS gateway and I'm not lying when I say they can only authenticate by the sender's email address. You might try the email forwarding work around I suggested if it works for you. Unfortunately, this won't work. When you set up a forwarding address, even if using a ...

Re: Can't get SMS messages to work at all
They use your phone number i.e. Bill's-mobile-number@smsglobal.com Anything that goes to your number gets billed to you. Yeah, but they don't - I asked them. I would use a local carrier, but here in NZ, they are set up for business use only - high setup costs, high monthly fees, etc. The other ...

Re: Can't get SMS messages to work at all
That's insane. Is it possible the person doesn't know what they are talking about? To be honest Bill, there has been no one that I know of who has had an issue with either their carrier's email-to-SMS gateway, or the use of a 3rd party service. I'm pretty sure there are more than a few threads on ...

Re: New Feature Requests
Hi Folks, I purchased the Envisalink3 primarily so that I could send SMS messages when my alarm was triggered. All the advertising around the Envisalink makes claims that this is possible. In the real world, this turns out to be extremely difficult. The reason is that virtually all email to SMS ...

Re: Can't get SMS messages to work at all
Sorry Bill, you can't customize your alert messages at this. time. Just so I understand, are you worried that someone at our company would send you text messages? Who else would have an eyezon account except for us? :D Ha ha, no, I don't think anyone from your company would be so sneaky :lol: What ...

Re: Can't get SMS messages to work at all
Issue a tech support ticket and we can look at the mail logs. PINs come from different servers than events. Sometimes carriers will block one of our servers but not others. Hey Mr Wizard. I think you are right about other servers used for PINs. I have now set up a paid account with SMSGlobal and ...

I have been able to get messages to email addresses with no trouble at all, but despite hours/days of trying, am not having any luck getting an SMS to my phone. I am in New Zealand and when I have tried any of the NZ SMS gateways in the ...
