That is true.
Although I have figured it out how to make
it work on Sprint PCS.
If you need help with Sprint PCS, let me
know and I can tell you what I have in my settings.

Have fun calling cell providers about TAP/Dial-up SMS
support! Most of them have NO idea what you're talking about... you'll
generally have to work your way through multiple layers of support to get any
useful information... at least in my experience. :|

Hello Latricia,
The easiest way to have messages sent to your cell phone is
to email a specific address that represents your phone. Many cell phone
carriers provide this capability as part of their service. So for
example, Whatsup would email [EMAIL PROTECTED] and you would receive the message as a text message. You
would need to check with your cell phone carrier to see what the exact email
address is.
The main problem with this method is that it requires for
your network to be in a healthy state in order to work. So if you wanted
a message if your email server went down, then you obviously could not use the
down email server to transmit the message. There is a notification/action
shipped with Whatsup called ‘SMS’ that is used for this problem.
Many cell phone carriers provide modem dialup numbers to relay text.
The plug-in does require a modem and you would need to contact Verizon to
see if they offer this.
WhatsUp would dial verizon using the modem, transmit the
message to their server using a specific protocol (usually called TAP) and then
verizon would send the message to its broadcasting network.
I hope this helps,
~Brian Miller

Hello
everyone,
Is there a way to setup WUG 8 to send notification to my cell instead of
my beeper. (ie text messaging).
