CDB on your cell phone

Fair warning: The CDB sends out alerts at all hours, but if it gets annoying you can always unsubscribe.

Fair warning #2: Some cell phone providers charge you to receive text messages, but this is rare. Contact your service provider to find out.

Fair warning #3: Getting e-mail on your cell phone can be hit or miss. For some reason, service providers occasionally fail to deliver e-mail.

Here are three ways to get death beeps on your cell phone:

1) E-mail your phone directly. If you have your phone's e-mail address, you can enter it on the Celebrity Death Beeper home page. The hard part is figuring out your phone's email address. You can contact your cell phone service provider and ask them for the address. You can also try doing a web search like send email to any cell phone or how do I email my AT&T cell phone (click that link and replace AT&T with your service provider). Here are some common ones that may work for you:

AT&TYOURNUMBER@txt.att.net
YOURNUMBER@mmode.com
YOURNUMBER@cingularme.com
AT&T has even more...
SprintYOURNUMBER@messaging.sprintpcs.com
T-mobileYOURNUMBER@tmomail.net
VerizonYOURNUMBER@vtext.com
Find a more complete list with this web search.

CDB signup on our home page.

In each case, YOURNUMBER includes the area code and no dashes or parentheses. For example, 6505551234@vtext.com looks like what you might use to signup on the Celebrity Death Beeper home page.

2) Twitter can be set up to send messages to your cell phone. This may not be quite as fast as the method above. Also, Twitter occasionally experiences outages that effect message delivery.

First, you will need to sign up for free at Twitter.com if you don't already have an account there.

In the Twitter settings, you can enter your cell phone number.

Finally, follow the Celebrity Death Beeper Twitter feed.

3) Use an e-mail to SMS service. I've never used one of these services so I cannot recommend any, but they do exist. FYI.
