Where you send it to doesn't matter once you have it configured. That is what they are saying use the gmx account for. Where I work we have our own exchange server and we have an email account configured on it just for alarms. You have to have a vaild account with password listed in the outgoing account.

Thanks hvac I was justing thinking about doing that. It looks like its either this way or license the sms service. Thanks for the response.

Set up your outgoing account with a working GMX account as you can get that to work. Send a test email to your email account to verify settings. Once you get that to work add an email recipient and add in the to header your number@vztext.com. When the email sends it will go to the number@vztext address.

Whats confusing me is the username and password. I have a my verizon account but not a vtext.com account. I can send an email to mycell@vtext.com through google which works fine. I entered my myverizon user name and password but I keep getting authentication failed. Do I have to make another account somewhere else?

It seems like I have all the right info in there. Ill try it again tomorrow now that I got ssl and https working

Do you have an account with verizon? The outgoing account needs to be an active legitimate email account. So if you are trying verizon it needs to be an account you have with verizon as in myemailis@verizon.com. Then go here and use these settings for the rest. Verizon email settings

The problem I am having is I think SSL needs to be enabled. I cant get https or SSL to work and on one seems to know what to do. Im not a security specialist at all so this is where Im a little limited. TIA

The non management staff should recieve the text on the non smart phone devices(run of the mill)and respond as they should to the job to check/ fix the issue, then go on the computer sign in to the jace and then acknowledge it.

In the time it takes for them to respond if it gets escalated to management then management will have to realize they should update the communications with their staff.

I dont mean to be a smart arse here but the OP is not having the issue of sending the alarms or texts,
but the issue is the use of non smart phone devices(run of the mill) thru text messaging as described and failure of proper acknowledging of the critical alarms due to the non smart phones.

Knowing that I beleive the problem will be the customers problem itself.

The Jace environment in itself seems to be working correctly as it should ...

Thank you

The outgoing account could be yours or like me, have an outgoing account for all projects.

The reply address does not need to exist, but it has to be there. I use jobname@gmail.

The message received by whom ever will be jobname@gmail

The only thing you need is to set up is the contact receiving the alarm, in this case phonenumber@whereever

I dont know a whole lot about licensing but anything to do email and http I thought was always included.
