Arlo text alerts - EE UK

[andysmith1983]

I've recently purchased an Arlo camera and so far so good.

However I would love to be able to get text alerts but cannot work out how to set this up. I do receive push notifications and emails but not text alerts.

I am based in the UK and my mobile phone network is EE who is a parent brand of tmobile (http://ee.co.uk/our-company/about-ee).

I've tried setting up my mobile number using the tmobile email address format advised in other threads on this forum (10 digit mobile number@tmomail.net)
but this doesn't seem to work.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

I am in the US and I simply use my regular phone number for texts and either my gmail or hotmail accounts for the email alerts.

Thanks for reply, will be good to know if anyone has setup text messages for EE/mobile in the UK and how.

It appears that EE has discontinued that service and I see a lot of complaints about that. I believe that others are using free third party services to do that.

For what it is worth I will give you the google search link I used so you can read up on it.
