arzoo Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 This is very strange and I’m not sure it has anything to do with the ISY – but maybe someone has a suggestion to solve my issue; I set up notifications to my phone via @txt.att.net. My ISP is 1and1. Lately, when the ISY sends a message (via test or program), I don’t receive it on my phone for a long time – like hours later! The reason I don’t think this is an issue with the ISY is because if I send an email from 1and1 webmail to @txt.att.net it also does not deliver for hours. But if I send the email from another smtp server (like Google), it delivers immediately. So it’s like AT&T has a problem with my phones txt email from 1and1.com? Contacting 1and1 is almost useless because their offshore tech support people know absolutely nothing. I guess I could contact AT&T – might get better tech support from them. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Michel Kohanim Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Hello arzoo, Quite strange. You can easily setup a gmail account which can only be use for notifications. Then, configure ISY to use your gmail account for sending notifications. With kind regards, Michel
arzoo Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Michel – thanks for the response. That’s what I ended up doing – created a gmail account. I still would have preferred using the mail account associated with my domain on 1and1, but for now the gmail account seems to work fine. I do intend to call AT&T and see if they have an answer. By the way – on a slightly different subject; for those that use AT&T and want all the text messages from the ISY to group together (on the phone), you can use @mms.att.net (rather than @txt.att.net). It might be nice to add that to the ISY admin app under the notification recipient list.
dzarn Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I don't have a solution, but I've seen the same thing happen - the message sends fine, but somewhere along the line takes a nap for several hours. Then it pops up on the phone like nothing happens. The only way we were able to 'prove' it was to put a timestamp in the message body. So it's definitely not just you.
Michel Kohanim Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Hi arzoo, Thanks so very much. Added mms.att.net to the list. With kind regards, Michel

At least I know it's not just me Are you using AT&T and/or 1and1?
kevkmartin Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Check out the iPhone app "push". It provides an e-mail interface to send push notifications to iDevices; it's MUCH faster than mms /txt.
dzarn Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 We were actually sending identical messages to several different phones on all 4 major networks. T-Mo, Sprint & Verizon came through immediately, AT&T would come in hours later, but with no indication that it was hours late.

arzoo Posted February 26, 2012 Author Posted February 26, 2012 It's funny because just yesterday I was talking with my wife and I mentioned that I would never own an iPhone or an "i" anything. She asked what if in the future I needed an iKidney? I told her that I would die!
