I know that some websites/charts can send out e-mails and text messages, but what I'm really looking for is some way of receiving an actual CALL on my cell phone when the price gets to a certain range.... so that it can wake me up late at night etc. People here on FF seem to know everything so...maybe somebody can help me !!!!
For he that would be deceived, let him.

I think this is what your looking for http://www.email2phone.net/

you can use alertfx, saxo, or gft set the price you want and have it email your email2phone and then it will ring your phone like a call

Hey, Pinchapip was wondering if you ever found any way to get a call to cell when a price was hit, I looked into email2phone but read that there customer service is not so good. Maybe there is software out there.

Thanx

Just a quick development idea... Someone could develop something like that with Skype API, if that has not been made already. It could then be used for a 1/10 of the price that email2phone offer for where I live.

Would be too much for me to undertake at this time though.


PS. I am currently using [email protected] to get sms alerts to my cellphone. I haven't found an easy way to pay to these guys, so I just 'demo' their email-to-sms system

Thanks for the quick replies. I have nextel (same as sprint)and text messaging to alert me thru metatrader but it doesnt work very well, ( or not at all)not all the messages get thru and i miss trades. Thats why was looking for something that would call me being that its more reliable. Looked into email2phone but seems really expensive right now. any other suggestions.

do you have an indicator to send an alert ?

I used to use this and it acts as an smtp server relay from your options menu
in metatrader ..... I assume you can get a text message to your cell.
or if your isp is smtp.... I have not used in a year or so. but does work well.

the only problem you run into sometimes is too many calls as the indicators can bounce. You will want to run a "new bar" function in your ea to limit 1 call per transaction.
