text notification of email

[Guest RickDawson]

I have all my email addresses set up to forward a copy of each mail I recieve, to an @orange.net address.

Orange then send a text message with the original sender and the subject.

These messages let me know when to check my mail.

However it has recently stopped sending me text messages.

I hadn't changed anything, but I decided to check everything. Eveything seems to be correct.

I finally decided it is specifically the text notification messages not working.

I can see that all my messages are getting to the orange email address, by looking at it online.

I can still recieve other text messages (that people send me), but not the email notification ones.

I even went through turning the notifications off and then on again (using orange's website).

Anyone have any ideas?

I do the same thing with my Orange E-mail account. Just reading your post i have just noticed I have also stopped receiving the SMS message with header info.

I had this problem with Orange some time back aswell, there was nothing I could do about it, it started working again in due course without my intervention.

Sorry I couldn't be of any help, though at least you know the problem isn't your end.

Thanks, I have had the problem before, but as you say, it came back working again.

As far as i can gather, once your monthly bill period ends, they stop your email alerts until you pay your off your bill.

I could swear it happens every single month.

I have also had this problem recently, but today it started working again. I dont think its got anything to do with the bill. I think Orange may be reconsidering the sms service as I recently got a call from someone in OCS enquiring if I used the service. They asked if I would I stay with orange.net if the service was stopped. I did say that I would move over to another email provider that sent out sms notification when a new mail is received. This is an invaluable service and is the main reason why I have an orange.net account. Also Orange earn revenue everytime I check my mail on my phone, as a result of such a sms notification.
