This is awesome! I'll be at class almost all of Friday and won't be able to check the matches. Thanks a lot guys!

Re: [TXT] Match Results via Text Message and E-Mail
 

I've signed up for 217, 27, and 1114. I'd sign up for more but I figure I don't want to get totally swamped with messages. :p

This is a really awesome idea, Thank you to the guys at TBA.

Can I just say how AWESOME this is?!
Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend the Championships, and I have class on Friday, so this will definitely help me keep up with all that's going on when I'm not by my computer!!

Re: [TXT] Match Results via Text Message and E-Mail
 

I have a question about this..
I understand the "every phone has an email address," but my question actually wraps around the "text message" status. Is it really a TEXT or is it a DATA message. The difference in pricing on a cell phone are EXTREMELY different. It's something between 50 and 70 cents per data message, where most people have a standard text plan.

I really want to sign up for this since I'll be stuck at FTC all day, and I'd like to know how my kids are doing. But, I don't want to incur 10 dollars worth of data fees because I assumed text message, and that's not what they were.

Very nice, thanks.

Now I just need to get unlimited texting...:rolleyes:

As far as I know US Cellular can use mms for multimedia and sms for text. I don't think the 1 is needed but try it w/o and if that doesn't wrk try it w/.

Re: [TXT] Match Results via Text Message and E-Mail
 

Generally MMS is "multimedia message service" and SMS is "short message service", so an MMS is a picture message, and an SMS is a text message. I'd go with SMS in this case.

Also, the 1 is generally not needed, only your 10 digit phone number.

Re: [TXT] Match Results via Text Message and E-Mail
 

I am pretty sure this depends on what gateway you use. For instance, with Verizon, using the (number)@vzwpix.com address would send it as a pix message every time--if plan-less, this costs much more than txts do. But if you use (number)@vtext.com, it appears to send as a text (and does so VERY quickly, I might add...:D cool!)

Neato!

US cellular is free for all incoming texts but I am not so sure if that is true if you are in a roaming area.

PS: your avatar is awsome. Did this really happen or is it a demo only?:)

Re: [TXT] Match Results via Text Message and E-Mail
 

Some stats on the current notifications:

Re: [TXT] Match Results via Text Message and E-Mail
 

I've been getting text messages just fine all morning.

I am going to throw the switch and enable open subscription. If numbers get too high, I'll have to scale back, but I think we're good for now.

Re: [TXT] Match Results via Text Message and E-Mail
 

I have been getting them too... i just got 2 from Q21-Newton though... different match scores

Re: [TXT] Match Results via Text Message and E-Mail
 

This means FIRST updated the scores. It sends another one if the scores change.
