if you got any suggestions lemme know please  |
I did this awhile back and wrote a small mapi program to text my cell phone. You have to write an application that can email your cell phone's email address such as sprintpcs - that's the easiest way otherwise its a big deal. You will need your pc to have a cell phone modem to be able to send sms messages to your cell phone and you would subscribe to sms gateways.
If you have sprintpcs or any cell phone provider that has email enabled that would be the easiest and your program can then treat it just like a regular pop3 email address. Once you have the program written, you can have your indicator call it as an external application. that's it.
Another suggestion is if you are close to your pc anyway while trading or sleeping for that matter, you can have your indicator play a wave file as an alert signal.
Hope this helps.
