Setting up your cellular phone to receive email alerts

Cellular phone carriers in the United States offer customers an easy way to receive email text messages. Most cellular phone carriers assign an email address to the cell phone in the form phonenumber@carrier.com/net, as outlined in the chart below.

If you have a cell phone we recommend providing it as your alternate email address when signing up, this will insure that even when you are away from the computer you will get Intelli-Timer signals.

Find your cellular phone carrier below and substitute "0001112222" with your phone number. For example, if your cellular mobile phone number is 520-555-1212, and your cellular mobile phone carrier is Nextel, then your email address is 5205551212@page.nextel.com.
