| The Service |
| Be alerted to all the latest news wherever you are with our SMS service. It’s incredibly flexible to suit a great variety of uses. Whether you want news for just a short period – perhaps the weekend or a short break, or you want to ensure that you hear about every tick for your life or county or patch list, then be sure
try it out for free today. Setup one or more filters (up to five) to run concurrently if you wish. The service has an excellent fast delivery of messages to all mobile phone systems,
most especially Vodafone. If your phone is out of range or switched off, any messages are normally delivered within a few minutes of getting back in range. In order to ensure the most reliable SMS service, FirstAlert is slightly more expensive
than standard text messages – but it’s worth it! |

| Ideal in combination with a pager |
| For
someone who birds throughout the year, the pager is still
absolutely the most economical and best way to be sure of
being alerted to all the birds that may interest you. Not least
of all because it is very hard to predetermine what will be of
interest and when. How can you set up a filter to account for the
following? .. a Hoopoe 35 miles away just before dusk on a
Sunday afternoon – no good! but if you received the news just a
bit earlier, early afternoon perhaps, you may have been tempted to
go? Likewise the Red-backed Shrike at the end of the next road,
or a Snow Bunting just off route on your way back from that trip to visit the
relatives.. use the pager to ensure you always have all the
latest news available to alert you - instantly it breaks, and have
the SMS for occasional use or to ensure that you don't miss the
breaking news on a tick. Note: our pager customers who have full
national news service are now getting the SMS service included for
free* |
