How to send MT4 alerts to AT&T phone?

I did a little research and I cannot figure out how I can send a text alert to my phone. I know my address is my ten digits number @txt.att.net but I have no idea what "SMTP server," "SMTP login" or "SMTP password" is nor how it relates for me to get my email alerts texted to my At&t phone.

Does anyone have theirs set up and if you do, can you post your steps? Thanks.

Hi Singha,

1. Your smtp server must be something like smtp.txt.att.net
2. Your login is certainly your email address. Something like [email protected]
3. The password is the one you use to access your e-mail account.

Then, in order to have your messages forwarded to your phone you have to check if your email provider offers such a service.

And finally, as your email account is certainly secured, you will not be able to send directly emails from Metatrader with the default configuration but instead use an external library (DLL) to do that or otherwise open an account with a non secured email address provider that offers phone forwarding.

Does the SendNotification-command work?
To use this you will need a metaquotes-ID, read more: http://www.mql5.com/en/articles/476

I don't know, never tried it.

I am still confused. I basically want my alerts to go straight to my phone as a text. From what I understand, I don't have an email "account" associated with my [email protected] (its just a standard at&t uses to get messages to my phone).

Anyone with verizon or t mobile care to offer help?

ok, as suggested at http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...46#post7375346 you could try PushNotification

You have to enable that feature under "experts" - "options" - "notifications"

To test if it works you may use the simple EA attached (will send the alerts and then deactivates, use it to test if everything works) ...

Have you tried/tested ?

I have done the configuration as explained in the article, received a message on my phone when entered my ID but after that nothing more.
I tried their sample script and no message

This is going to complicate things as well... I don't have an apple or android phone. I have a windows phone (no mt4 app so I can't get a quotesID).

I am looking for my desktop to send the notifications to my phone. I keep my home desktop running mt4 night/day during the forex week.

I will probably give At&t a call tomorrow and ask them to provide me the details on my first post. I will post what they provide here.

Unfortunately not because my cellphone is not up to date (I do not use ipod, ipad, android etc.) ...
