PUSH Alerts:
Push notifications (a way for an app to send information to your phone similar to but not the same as SMS alerts) are also available for TripIt Pro subscription holders on both iOS and Android.
Please see our Help page titled Push notifications for iOS and Android.
Email Alerts:
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
