Free Text Message with New Order

[banchijojo]

I have been feverishly looking for a free way to receive a text message when I get a new order. The SMS services cost money, I don't need to text customers, I just want my cell phone to alert me when I get a new order - nothing fancy. I found a way cool way to do it for ....Free!

 

Back Office >> Modules >> Mail Alerts >> Configure >> Send to this emails

 

in the emails, just add your cell phone's email-to-sms gatweway number

See this webpage for the list of gateway numbers: http://www.emailtextmessages.com/

 

Add your gateway number in the box and whala! you'll get a text when a new order or message comes in. Obviously if your email already goes to your phone, then this is not necessary, but for those of us who have cheap-charlie phones, this works like a charm.
