Does anyone know of a replacement service?

All the carriers have dropped email to text. There's no text option that I know of. Your choices are email only and push notifications plugins

I use the UD Mobile and and Notifications plugin.

Actually nice not to have email clutter.

I add Pushover to that list through the Notification plugin. Haven't had a failure yet.

I use UD Mobile for "not that important status notifications" and I use(d) Verizon texts for "Hey Ross, something needs to be done now" notifications.

Yes, Verizon would ~twice/year get funky with delays or just not work, but it otherwise would work flawlessly for me all of these years.

My wife liked texts for things that were important to her (daily weather forecast, garage door has been open too long, etc.) as well.

Text.email is $200/year. That's not really worth it to me.

Xmatters is free unlimited texting for up to 5 users. I don't know the pros/cons of it yet as I doubt anything is truly free, but I'm going to explore it.

Desire::

• Keep UD Mobile notifications for status updates but it is cluttered with things I don't really want to see in real time (or ever).

• Determine which service can best notify me when something important happens

• Determine which service can notify my wife with her messages that is VERY streamlined for her.

Thanks,

Ross

Exactly why i use Pushover with the Notification Plugin. Last I checked, Pushover was still one time $5 per platform (ie: Android, IOS), don't know if that has changed. Plus you get the advantage of history. Them come over as push notifications, just like texts.
