Agree, but the only reason I'm using O365 is cause Yahoo only allows you to set up forwarding when you pay for their Plus services.  Anyone that has an email service that allows forwarding (I don't know if google/gmail/etc.) with some rules could do this with them as well.  The idea is...
1. Email from FoCC comes in
2. Set up a rule based on the context of the subject (ex. You were tagged!)
3. Forward that email to the cell-email that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login showed above


I'm just using my O365 subscription cause Yahoo doesn't do the forward.  Others may have luck w/their stuff. Be an interesting test otherwise.

Oh gotcha, I like this alternative.  Gmail has free forwarding.  I will admit I get more emails than text so it might indicate to me that it's more important, that or I will think my phone company is telling me my bill is due.

Further thinking, I'll see if/how I could get something like this on my gmail account since you said forwarding is free.  It looks like there's a filtering capability too.  I'll post here and then folks can validate and use if they wish to or no.

You can do this with any email address.  Just have Thunderbird running on a machine somewhere.  Whenever email arrives it can run a filter on it. The filters allow for a variety of actions including forwarding that email to another address.  This is how I've been getting SMS text messages whenever CCI sends an email to me for years.  During comic-con season It's very useful so I can get notified of things like the pre-con shift announcement.

I think to You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login point, if we can get this working w/o the need for "extra stuff", and using a mail services' capabilities, it's less of a hassle. Folks that want to go the "extra mile" (like Thunderbird or O365) are more than welcome to do so.  But if we can vet this to work with OOTB capabilities, that's a win.
