text messaging

[Dinboise]

I have Verizon wireless now (did have Sprint but bad service). I could get my email (hotmail) to text my Sprint phone when the ISY email came in to alert me I had something trigger in the ISY... But for some reason my hotmail wont play with the Verizon phone. But I am wondering why I can not simply text the Verizon phone from the ISY directly. Why do I see Verizon an option in the UI admin consul? Do I chose "Verizon text" or "Verizon PCS" - but neither allows for a phone number entry. I am running version 3.2.4

 

Thanks for your input.

Hi David,

 

You should upgrade to 3.2.6.

 

You can use Verizon SMS/Text. Or you can use regular email and then use your_number@vtext.com .

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Yes, the @vtext.com did work. Oddly, I tried this first - but did not work. I don't really get it. I manually typed the text in (instead of cut and paste) maybe that did it. Seems to be working, thank you. I will upgrade once I get the chance.
