If your carrier is not supported, an email can be sent to your phone that appears as a text message.

Many mobile carriers create a specific email address for each phone number beginning with the mobile phone number. For example, Rogers mobile carrier in Canada uses number@pcs.rogers.com. You'll receive most alerts, but some may be delayed by an hour or more depending on your mobile carrier.

2. Go to the travel alerts section of your account settings page.

3. Click on "Add a mobile phone."

 4. Select "Other" when setting where your mobile carrier is based

5. Enter your phone's SMS email address.
