Ask HN: What do you wish had SMS alerts for?
2 comments
- Forex changes
- Important emails
- Important tweets (twitter SMS does not work in many countries)
- Important RSS feeds
- Google News alerts on certain keywords
- Security alerts e.g. when someone hacks into some of my accounts
- Stocks alerts
- Important reminders from iCal, configurable not all like google cal
Would be cool to have a basic SMS altert app that can connect to many web services.
You can build a demo with Nexmo.com, the wholesale SMS API with gobal reach and direct to carrier model. (disclaimer: I work for Nexmo)

But after thinking a bit, I realized I would really like SMS alerts for a lot of things since my iPhone texts are the only things I check every time I get a notification (i.e. I ignore email notifications etc).
Am I the only one? Or do many people wish they had SMS alerts for a lot of things (such as comments on HN threads)? Or would making SMS alerts ubiquitous, just make them as equally not-useful as an email notification?
