Your Raveon\u00a0RavTrack PC<\/em> GPS Tracking System<\/a> can send “Rule Alert Messages<\/strong>” via email when triggered by a GPS tracking rule.\u00a0 GPS tracking Rules may be based upon vehicle speed, proximity, idle time, geo-fences, and many other conditions.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0When a rule alert is triggered, the rule alert messages may be sent to any email address.<\/p>\n

Often, users wish to send an alert to a mobile device using Short Messaging Services (SMS).\u00a0 Cell phones, Blackberries, iPhones, and many other mobile communication devices can receive SMS messages.\u00a0 And sending a Rule Alert Message to them is very simple.<\/p>\n

To send a GPS tracking alert from RavTrack PC (<\/em>Raveon’s GPS tracking software<\/a>)<\/em>,\u00a0 configure the “mail to” address to send the alert message\u00a0to, to\u00a0the mobile-devices wireless carrier’s email server, using the telephone number of the mobile device as the email address.\u00a0 Different wireless carriers use different email address formatting (See list below), but in general, the email address will be something like:
\n760-555-1212@txt.att.net\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 where 760-555-1212 is the telephone number of the subscriber.<\/p>\n

The domain listed after the @ sign depends upon the carrier, and the list below shows some common carriers and their email\u00a0domain names.<\/p>\n

Verizon: 10digitphonenumber@vtext.com\r\nAT&T: 10digitphonenumber@txt.att.net\r\nSprint: 10digitphonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com\r\nT-Mobile: 10digitphonenumer@momail.net\r\nNextel: 10digitphonenumber@messaging.nextel.com\r\nCingular: 10digitphonenumber@cingularme.com\r\nVirgin Mobile: 10digitphonenumber@vmobl.com\r\nAlltel: 10digitphonenumber@message.alltel.com\r\nCellularOne: 10digitphonenumber@mobile.celloneusa.com\r\nOmnipoint: 10digitphonenumber@omnipointpcs.com\r\nQwest: 10digitphonenumber@qwestmp.com\r\nMetroPCS: 10digitphonenumber@mymetropcs.com\r\nBell Canada: 10digitphonenumber@txt.bellmobility.ca\r\nTelus: 10digitphonenumber@msg.telus.com<\/pre>\n
Remember, SMS is a short-message service, and the carrier may break long messages up into multiple short messages.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0SMS is often not free, and the users of SMS must\u00a0pay a per-message fee. \u00a0The recipient of the GPS tracking alert SMS may be billed by the wireless carrier for each alert\u00a0message received.<\/p>\n
The email server and address that the Rule Alerts are emailed to is configured in RavTrack PC<\/em> by selecting\u00a0 FILE>PROGRAM PROPERTIES<\/em> and then clicking on the “SERVERS<\/em>” tab.\u00a0 On the Servers tab, you will see the boxes to fill-in the email address and email server information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
