Title: Re: [ukha_d] Re: Genie SMS service

        I have used Genie for this service for about a year - I als use some of the other message functions. Some days it doesn't work but in the main I have found it very good. When I have an urgent message eg 'alarm' condition t report I send twice , the second time using another service but this was an 'included bonus' in my monthly sub package so it's no use me suggesting it t you

        I have just checked the service is working and I sent an email t myself and it was received by SMS within 10 seconds..

        I did at one time use the send sms message web page on Genie but they changed something which broke how I had implemented it - it can probably be done still but I haven't re-looked at it.
