Text Message Reminders

[Stu Bloom]

One more concern Brandon ... maybe this is nothing ...
The event time listed for the web hug says 11:00 (in my browser window). I am assuming that is due to time zone differences as it will be 11:00 here in Indianapolis when it is 12:00 in Atlanta. Please confirm that the schedule hasn't changed. Hopefully this idiosyncrasy (yes, I used the spell checker ) will not mess up the timing of the actual reminder messages.

edit: OOPS ... nevermind ...
I see that it says 11:00 AM EST (Eastern Standard Time) which actually IS 12:00 EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) ... sorry ...

Hey Brandon,

Don't forget us Canadians! Here are the servers for the 4 major wireless providers up here:

Bell Mobility: txt.bellmobility.ca
Fido: fido.ca
Rogers Wireless: pcs.rogers.com
Telus Mobility: msg.telus.com

Thanks for the reminder system - it's a great idea!

Assuming other people are savvy enough and have an uncommon provider, would it be acceptable to allow users to enter their whole txt-message address themselves?

You could even disguise it as a "normal e-mail address" field and then the savvy people could just put their cell phone in there.

I'll have to add their provider to the list. I don't want to make it too complex on the back end.

So this IS a huge 47 fundraiser scam!!! I knew it!!!!

But anyway, Brandon you rock!! Thanks for SO much hard work put into this, you do way more than you're ever given credit for!!! Thanks so much!!!

Now all you need to do is set up a 5 minute warning before each match (filtered by team number, of course) when you get the match list. And maybe something I could ping to get the real time standings! Or even.... <Kris is abruptly silenced by Brandon>

Seriously, though - this is great. All I get now is the weather report every morning, and "73 and sunny", while comforting, is getting boring.

Hey Brandon this is awesome, now to just pray to the FIRST gods that I don't have a practice match and if I do.... Hey Lisa you wanna coach that one?

But seriously, now I should remember it, and with any luck I won't be grabbing people half way into the webhug and trying to find it like last year.

[av11d]

Worked flawlessly. This is seriously awesome... thanks so much for your continued efforts!

[Dorienne]

This is awesome, Brandon. No more kinks...it's great.
Now I definitely can't forget it, because I'm jynxed with that thing where if I really wanna do something on a day...I forget. >_<;

Thanks so much Brandon! I swear, you do way too much for us! <3

[omutton]

That's pretty awesome! I just hope I don't get an "International Fee"

[Julia Magoolia]

Now I just can't wait to see: 30 minutes before the webhug, as one, the thousands of people in the georgia dome will check their cell phones...
That'll be a sight to see!

one quick question, you mentioned in your original post that it was 90% done, is it 100% done? Or is that last 10% the actual using of it?

[Greg Needel]

i was wondering if it would be possible to add a reminder for the Passover Seder that is going to be taking place after the awards before the wrap party. i can give you time and date information if needed. thanks
