I think there should be away to alert users of replies to their topics via text messaging. That way if one is out and about and away from the internet or pc, they can be alerted if someone replies to their topic by receiving a text message. You would just have to check off the bubble for Text Message when you make a post and submit your cell number somewhere in your profile. Note, the cell number would be hidden from the view of the public.

If there is a reply waiting, then it can wait until I next connect to the site.

The price per text message would be to high, both on the end user and the back-end systems needed for justin to set up. Some of the people on here I PM back and forth a lot (and a few of those probably wish I wouldn't ). I gurantee they wouldn't want to have to pay .10 for each message. Granted they would theoretically be able to not adopt such system for their account, it just isn't worth it.

if you really need it, set "your 10 digit phone number@yourprovidersdomain.com" as your email and use e-mail reply notifications. |
