Network Configuration and Alarm Notification
Revised 9/27/13
Text Message — Most cell phone providers have as a free* option
(charges may apply in some instances) an E-mail to TEXT service
for their cell phone plans. Any alarm type level that is generated
would be sent to that cell phone number as a text message. *Usually
the cell phone providers will have an unlimited text messaging
option.
When using Verizon cellular service, the text messaging e-mail
address is your 10-digit phone number followed by @VTEXT.
com. For example, if your phone number is 1-555-555-5555, your
e-mail address (for TEXT MESSAGING) would be 5555555555@
VTEXT.com.
