Simple question about sending an SMS


#1

I just wanted to know how the pistons send an SMS message? Is it through a US service? Just wondering because I live in Canada and if it is going through a US service, then I will be charged for every SMS message that I receive.


I just got a weird SMS notification
#2

the SMS service is provided by ST. its the same as sending SMS from the ST app. ST should be using a local service provider. may be send a SMS from ST to yourself and check the sender?


#3

Is there a way to do that in ST or do I need to create a piston to test this?


#4

you could try it out from ST there is a notify me when ST app that lets you do that. there are other options as well.


#5

In the Notify Me app, it actually says that if you are outside the US to enter the country code. So I guess the texts are coming from a US service.

Did a test and it is coming from 202-999-3389.
