SMS notifications for pms and forum subscriptions. - SIM-1472133 - Feb 5, 2017

Title says most of it but if you dont get it, pretty much just as a thread gets posted in the section you subscribed to or if you get a post on your sales thread or you get a PM you get a text saying that you have an unread message or a new post.

This could be the next big thing for sellers.

Exactly this. And don't forget that there is a lot of members.
Lets say 0.1$ for every message.
Won't happen lol.

10 cents for a text message? What third world country do you live in?


Did a bit of looking around, only like 50k people would actually use this feature, it can be affordable.


Make it an upgraded feature?

Personally don't think many members would like their numbers stored on HF.

Or if you're expecting a PM you could just check HF on your phone, takes all of 10 seconds.

That's nonsense. It works fine the way it is now. Simply get a mail client on your phone.

Bro are you mental??

So 50k texts per day lets say at a minimum....You want HF to pay for that or us?

Forget SMS, just push notifications using third party application was rejected(Check out my thread).

Notification requests are usually rejected unless Omniscient says so.


* - Eagle 95 - Feb 5, 2017

Any kind of notifications won't be accepted. Also, for forum subscriptions you can use email notification, works fine.

Did you know you can get text messages from most carriers to your phones number? example is like [email protected].

I looked into SMS setup at some point but as it's been pointed out, there could be charges to not just the sender but the receiver, I also greatly fear storing phone numbers on HF.
