How to Send + Notify
iFINDTXT allows you to send messages with and without notification. Send will result in a message sent without notification. This feature is useful if you do not want to disturb the recipient (like 3:30 am or so). Send + Notify on the other hand will result in a notification from one of our servers to the recipient by means of a missed call. You can add the following numbers 073-884 7268,69 and 70 to your contacts so that you can identify the notification. Please note, you will never receive more than one notification within one minute (we do not want to drive you nuts even if your friends Send + Notify you a lot!). Please note - you will not receive any notifications for as long as the Auto Refresh option is selected from the Inbox.
