All broadcast email messages, including schedule change notices sent from the site will also be sent to your cell phone as text messages. So now if an event is canceled while you're on the road, you'll know about it right away.
A few notes about text messages:
Just as with email, only one copy of a message is ever sent to a cell phone number.
You should be aware that "text message" means exactly that. Any and all HTML formatting is stripped prior to sending text messages, so be aware that things may not look the same on one's cell phone as they do in your email inbox. Formatting like bolding, underlining, italics, centering and underlying links will not be preserved and embedded pictures will be removed entirely. Tables will not line up in neat columns but their lines will be preserved.
Text messages are limited to approximately 140-170 characters, including the From address, Title and Body of the message. Anything beyond that will be cut off. Email recipients will get the whole thing but only the the first part will be visible on people's cell phones.
Click on your name: (these items will need to be checked)
Home Phone: entered your home phone (if you want it available to the rest of the team, choose Roster)
Work Phone: this is where you would enter another phone number that you would want us to have on file (choose private)
Cell Phone: enter your cell number (if you want it available to the rest of the team, choose Roster) and then you MUST choose your CORRECT carrier. This is how you will receive TEXT messages. If you do not receive text messages, this area is where something is wrong.
Email Address: It's possible to enter multiple addresses in the field. Just separate each address with a comma, for example, MyName@home.net, MyName@work.com (if you want them available to the rest of the team, choose Roster)

If you wanted other phone numbers made available to the league, you would enter them in either the home phone or work phone area (if you want it available to the rest of the team, choose Roster)
Cell Phone: you MUST either enter a valid cell phone number along with the carrier,(just like when you set up your own account) or leave this entire field BLANK. You can use your cell number again, you just MUST enter the carrier or it will not work correctly for either of you!
Email Address: you can enter multiple email addresses as long as they are separated by a comma. (Players email addresses and cell phone numbers should NOT be used)
