How to add your cell phone number? |
|
Login to your account and click on “Profile” on
the menu. Scroll down to where it says “cell phone email”.
Click on the “edit” button. Most cell phones are
issued an email address which is normally your phone number followed @ and your
phone company's domain name. For example if your phone number is 908-555-1234
and you have Verizon service your email will be 9085551234@vtext.com
The best way to find out your cell phone's email address is to send an email
from your cell phone to your regular email address to see what return address
is. Enter that information above.

How much does it cost? |
|
SearchPlates is 100% free and we never charge you for sending a message through
our system. Sending a cell phone message through SearchPlates is the same as
sending a text message so your standard text messaging rates will apply from
your cell phone provider. Contact your cell phone provider to find out how much
they charge you for sending a text message.
|
Can I respond to the message I receive from my cell phone? |
|
At the moment, you can only receive messages and send messages out. There is no
reply feature to send directly back to the sender. The message you receive will
appear in your account inbox and you will be able to view the sender. You will
be able to respond to the sender through the online SearchPlates email system.
|
If you receive a message back that says (Registration requirement)
“You are currently not subscribed to cell phone messages. Visit
SearchPlates.com and on your profile page enter your cell phone address." |
|
This means that either you have not added your cell phone to your profile page,
or the cell phone number you entered is invalid. (text your regular email
address from your cell phone to confirm you are using the correct cell phone
email address).
|
What happens if the license plate I text is not a member? |
|
If the license plate you are sending a text message to is not a member of
SearchPlates.com the message will go into your “Pending Signup” folder which is
located on the profile page. You will be able to monitor when that license
plate signs up and send your message then.
