Alert to cell phone

I would like to know if anyone knows of a way to receive a phonecall when you receive an alert from an indicator or just metatrader price objective reached. I know you can just send the alert to your cellphone as a text message but the problem is i've had two cellphone companies and both sometimes either send the text to late or not at all. Maybe there is some software I could purchase or a service.

Thank you

Sign email service for cellphone and do your alert (SendMail)

Thank you, I will try that out.

I wrote an AOL IM (AIM) broadcaster for my MT4. AIMs hit your cell phone almost instantly (usually no more than a 30 second delay)

The dependency you have set up with the MT4->email->cell might delay up to 30 minutes or longer! It depends on your cell carrier and email service. Time sensative trading can be accomplished with

A) An AOL bridge like mine
B) MT4 mobile running on a pocket PC (you will not be able to run EAs on it, but will be able to watch the market in realtime)

www.alertfx.com is really good. Pairs are limited, but if you know what pairs work with other pairs then it's perfect. EX. They don't have GBP/JPY, but they do have EUR/JPY. Well, when one turns the other does too so it works for me. Plus it doesn't have to wait until candle ends to signal alert so I've been getting into a few trades earlier than I would have if i was just watching charts. Most of all, it's FREE!

Sounds like a great way of trading!

Do not need to sit in the front of PC all the time.!

Thank you mate.

Tdion how does the aol im work, how do you set it up. Does metatrader send alert thru email and then phone call is made. Please explain. Thank you.

Also, if you have a smartphone, there is MT4 mobile, whihch will allow you to change your trade as well as alert you.

If you trade with an MQL4 platform, try this ---

Go to this link and locate the email address for your cell phone carrier. http://sms411.net/how-to-send-email-to-a-phone/

In your MQL4 platform, go to Tools -> Options -> Email

Put the number in the To: window.

Configure the From: window with your personal email. Include your SMTP server, login, and password.

Next, go to the Terminal -> Alerts tab

Right-click and select Create to create your alert
Actions: Mail
Symbol: the pair you want to be alerted about
Condition: what you want to be alerted about
Value: same sort of info
Source: put in the Subject of your email, i.e., 'GBPUSD > 1.55781'
***Maximum iterations: 3 -- you'll receive 3 emails. If you leave it at 1000, ...

That's it.
You can Enable it or Disable it by double-clicking on the alert or by pressing the Space bar while you have it selected.

Hope this is clear.
