SMS number submission added

We've expanded our SMS feature-set today by offering number submissions over SMS! Here is how it works:

First, you'll need to log into your Bell's Mind account via SMS by texting "bellsmind login " to 41411. User ID is your numeric user ID that you can find on the "My Account" page.

Over the next few weeks this number will become increasingly important so make sure you remember it! You'll also need your randomly assigned six-digit PIN which you can find also on the "My Account" page.

Second, you should receive a confirmation that you were logged in successfully.

Third, text "bellsmind submit " to 41411 for any number that you want to submit. Numbers can not contain spaces but can have a leading 1 and/or dashes in the middle. The description can be up to 255 characters.

Fourth, you will receive confirmation that you number was submitted. It will be assigned in the database as a "Mobile submission". You can change this when you get back to a computer and sign onto the web site.

Hopefully this will make it easier to submit numbers when you're away from your machine. Let me know how it works for you.

Also, you'll remain logged in to the system until you text "bellsmind logout" to 41411. There's probably not any reason to have to do that but I added it just in case.
