Is anyone interested in the SMS messaging capability we added to Sierra Chart?

This feature sends a SMS message when an Alert Number is triggered. This is configured through Global Settings >> General Settings >> Alerts.

It also has to be activated on the website here:

We see it is almost not used at all.

Is the pricing too high at .05USD a message?

It's useful but for comparison thinkorswim has an alerts feature where you can get a text message and the platform is free and there is no charge for text messages.

Alternatively you can simply use the email based alerts from SC and just check your email on your smartphone (this is what I do). And this is sufficient for me.

So yes it is too expensive. But due to technology and competition I believe it would have to be nearly free to see more use.

The price could be lowered slightly, but it is being provided nearly at cost.

I'm not sure how your costs are setup, but what if you try selling 100 non-refundable text messages for $1 instead of $0.05 each?

We have checked on this and our cost for this is 4.52USD.

So there is 0% chance of a price reduction.
