It could be:
0412345678@three.com.au
0412345678@optus.com.au
0412345678@virginmobile.com.au
0412345678@telstra.com.au
0412345678@vodafone.com.au
The numbers can't be matched to a particular carrier based on the prefix either, because it's possible to transfer the number between carriers (I've had the same number with 4 companies personally).

The only way around that would be to have a list of every single mobile carrier in the world, and have the user choose their mobile network when they enter their number, ie:
Number: (Enter Number)
Carrier: (Select)

But the advantage of doing it this way is that because they can specify an email address, they could also put in their Blackberry address and get short notifications sent there. Or if they have a mobile email account, they could enter that instead.

It's a great idea for a mod! I like it :)

That would be great. We could create another profile field to ask what mobile carrier they have.

I'll look into this. The only problem I really have with making it so that someone can select a carrier is that if that it puts the burden of getting things correct on the mod, not the end users. While normally that's what you'd want, in this case I think it has more room for error than end users not knowing their address.

However, what might be good is just some text in that field with the most common examples. Which should hopefully allow people to figure out what their email address might be.

question... do you have a list of domain email addresses built in to this mod? How does a person specify the carrier they use? Do they have to put in the email address?

It would be easiest if the person could select their carrier from a drop down and if we could add carriers easily.

I haven't used it yet. is this there? I can't just install a mod into production without knowing everything or using a demo.

There are carrier lookup services you can easily tap into. It just needs to be written. This mod has potential but sounds like it hasn't "come of age" yet.

It's not worth it yet if only my more technical users can figure it out.

Not that I am aware of, although I'm not entirely sure what you want it to do in a PM anyway? Just text someone the contents of a PM when they get a PM? It probably exists, but as a PM can be more than 160 characters, etc... it's probably not the greatest idea.

Yes, a forum post can be of whatever size as well, but if it's specifically for SMS messages, people know that and will write short messages, unlike open ended PMs.

No reason why not, but I haven't specifically tested it on 3.8.4

when subscribing to a forum is there an option that should say SMS subscription or do you just use the get daily updates email? Anyways, I subscribed to the forum where the threads are and did a test new thread and nothing happened. i know the sms address works as i sent a test messege from my email account. I checked all my settings and nothing happened. I did notice that when i went to subscribe to a FORUM it only had 3 options, one was no email notifications, daily email notifications, and weekly notifications. When i go to a specific thread under the category i have another option that says instant notification.

All times are GMT. The time now is 12:50 PM.
