Arlo standard, text message content

ws229857 — Mon, 07 Aug 2017 18:05:07 GMT

I have both email and txt message notifications enabled in my motion alert modes. That process works fine. However the content of the text message is my concern as it is a mixture of a proper subject line and html coding that does not even identify which camera is alarming. Is anyone else is having this problem?

looks like the servcie provider isn't stripping out all the formating when converting the email to an SMS...

some do a good jod, others not so much

Have you changed phone or service lately ?

I'm with ATT. No I've not changed carriers. My text msgs have always looked like this. Just decided to ask about it.

It depends on the carrier... verizon isn't as bad when converting... not much you can do unless you go thru a third party service
