Send Alerts to Phone in MT4

Beginner Questions
1

I have an indicator which has a field within it stating if you want e-mails sent out when these indicators line up it will. My question is in MT4 under Tools>Options there is a tab that has Email. If I am using Verizon as my carrier how do I setup these fields to allow it to send my cell phone a text message each time I have an indicator. I hope someone can help, much appreciated.

To let you know I am using hotmail.com as my SMTP server or GMX.com. Does anyone have instructions on how to set this up for either one of these providers.

Thanks

I used GMX personally although I haven’t had alerts pushed to me in sometime.

you enter your smtp server (ie. smtp.gmx.com), your login and password.

The “From” field you can put whatever, I usually put MT4 so I know that I’m getting an MT4 alert.

The “To” field you put whom your sending your email to, your email address.

Now I don’t know what phone your using for verizon but just get your phone to receive emails.

Hope I explained it clearly.

Thanks, I got it to work with GMX mail but I would really like it to work with my hotmail account. Does anyone know if this is possible to use with a hotmail account.
