SMS alerts

[schoe]

Has technology improved on SMS or EMAIL alerts. I have found CMC email alerts to be unreliable and need a reliable Alert service for when I am at work.

Has anyone found one that is reliable for the indices?

 

[ILA]

Can anyone confirm if receiving e-mails via SMS is still free on Orange (they no longer allow you to set up an account without an orange number)

Thanks

I know this thread is old, but this might be of benefit to someone.

For forex, I use alertfx.com and send the rate alert to a hotmail account, and at the times I need the alert to go to my mobile, I use the options setting > Mobile > and use a filter to sms my mobile any email from "alertfx".

It costs you the price of a text message, but it is pretty instantaneous. I only use it when I am not at my laptop or my desktop as I also receive the rates to my outlook email.

Hope this helps

With Comdirect you set up a list here

http://focus.comdirect.co.uk/focus/marketfocus/watchlists/index.html

set your alerts here

http://focus.comdirect.co.uk/en/editdetails/from_wl/index.html

and send your Email alert to your orange Email address which you set up for free at

http://web.orange.co.uk/ (see Email and messaging)

Unfortunately they are 10min delayed (or at least used to be)

You can do exactly the same with ADVFN who supply real time alerts.

Unfortunately they have recently changed their alerts system (Grrrr) and I cannot work out how they work, or if they work properly. Their % trailing stops seem to trigger early, and sometimes in the wrong direction. However, you can no longer set the trailing stop from a high or low like the old system, you need to specify a price, anyone have similar problems?

Why ADVFN have to keep changing things beggars belief they always make it worse!



If you

Hi,

Does anyone know if ADVFN did a SMS alert package for £5 a month ? If so, how do I order it ?

When I go to ADFN site, it seems they charge per message basis. Pls see below.
