I know the Rain out number is a HUGE issue. We have 4 lines, but on days when it is raining, it is VERY difficult to get through and difficult for us to work in the office.
I think this is the solution to our problems. One of our umpires told me this was possible and a Google search later gave us all the info.
. Follow the directions below to find/use your cell phone email. Then go to our website for the email sign-up and use this email for when we send out an email, it will be sent directly to your cell phone as a text.
No more calling the rain out number and getting a busy signal, or worse yet, the fax roll over.
SMS isn't just for sending text messages from one phone to another -- it's also a great way to get email messages on your phone.
Yes, you can get email on your phone! All you need to know is your cell phone's email address.
Most carriers have "SMS gateways" which take email messages from the Internet and deliver them to their customers' cell phones as SMS text messages. The trick is that you need to know what carrier the recipient's phone is on -- it's not enough to know their phone number. That's because the carrier determines what the email address of the receiving phone is going to be. For example, Cingular phones' address are all "something@cingularme.com" while Verizon phones are "something@vtext.com."
Sound complicated? It's not. All you really need to do is find your carrier in the list below, and then use the pattern shown there to figure out your email address. If you want to send email to a friend's phone, just ask them which carrier they use, and off you go!
(Note: For each carrier, I'll include a link to a page with more detailed information on how SMS works with that carrier, how much it costs, and where you can find more information. In the list below, just click any carrier's highlighted name to find out more.)
