Most cellular service providers make it possible for your cell phone to receive email messages from any standard email or web mail client. If your mobile phone provider supports this feature, it is possible to send text messages to your cell phone using ipMonitor's Simple or Customizable Email Alert.
If you're not already familiar with sending and receiving email via your cell phone, you will need to contact your cellular provider in order to:
- Find out the domain you need to use in order to receive email.
- Determine the format of your cell phone's email address.
Note: Examples of cell phone email addresses used by some of the larger cellular providers are available in the Additional Information section of this article. Please note that your cellular provider may have specific rules regarding message length, subject line length and formatting that might truncate long messages or reject them entirely when they are sent. Contact your cellular service provider to find out more about sending email to your cell phone.
To send an Email Alert to your cell phone:
- Log in to the ipMonitor Administration interface and click the Alerts menu option.
- Click the Name of the Profile to which you want to add the Alert.
- Click the Add an Alert button and then select Customizable Email from the drop-down menu.
- Complete the Identification and Availability sections as desired.
- Enter your email address in the Send an Email Message To field within the Alert Parameters section.
- Complete the Failure Message, Recovery Message and Information Message sections as desired.
- Click OK to save the Alert.
