SMS Message Alerts:

You can have a small message sent to your cell phone, pager, PDA or any other device that accepts SMS (Short Message Service) messages through email, each time that you receive and order.

Most cell phones can accept SMS messages via an email address. The SMS address for your phone is usually your phone number @ some domain. For example if you have a Nextel phone your SMS address is yournumber@messaging.nextel.com

e.g. 1234567890@messaging.nextel.com

Check with your service provider if you don't know the SMS address for your phone. If you do have a Nextel, use the format above.

Each time you receive an order a small message is sent to your SMS device (phone/PDA/pager) containing the order number, customer's name, order total and the SMS service usually adds the date and time.
