The Lock Loss alerting system now provides the user with the option of no cell phone alerts, text message alerts or a phone call. Actually if a voice call is selected, then any phone number can be used (for example a land line).
The contact MEDM now shows three 'CELL CONTACT' options: no, text, voice. The user's phone information is now contained in two records, the phone number (including area code, no spaces or characters) and their cell provider. If a text message is selected, the code looks up the appropriate email address (e.g. @vtext.com for verizon). If a voice call is selected, the phone number is sent to our TTS (text to speech) service provider. Their phone call originates from New Jersey.
