Does anyone has their Backpack reminders arriving as text messages on an iPhone in the UK (on o2)?

If so, could you share with me how you got it to work? I’ve been messing with it since November to no avail. myusername@o2.co.uk arrives at my o2 webmail ok, but I can’t forward it to my phone. Using the number in the backpack reminder settings doesn’t appear to result in a reminder arriving anywhere.

thanks!

It’s not working here either.

I have not managed to ever get direct SMS reminders out of backpack to any UK mobile phone network (have tried Orange, Vodafone and O2, not T-mobile yet).

Always had to set up the reminder to email, then filter on the provider email to send SMS reminders when received from backpackit.com

This works fine so long as network provider email system is working OK which has occasionally been a bit of a problem with Vodafone. Bit of a fiddle but only has to be done once.

Yes, that was how I managed it on my old orange phone; I can’t find any settings on O2 to send any email->SMS though.

Any updates on this? I am on o2 (iphone) and can’t get this to work either.

Ok this works by sending a text with the subject of on to 212

You will receive 2 messages back, one saying the service is on and one saying your email is number@mmail.co.uk

The reminders should then come through.
