Okay, all added to the beacon.

Oh now I get it...well then.

Hey guys!
Would like to post a detailed instruction how to turn on free SMS notifications from Priming Beacon. (unfortunately Beacon still hasn't got 8 people in its list, so it de facto is not working now, but I hope it would be filled with more people, just spread the word).

Ok, let's begin.
1) First of all you need to register on ifttt / Put the internet to work for you. . It's just a usual registration.
2) Then on the main page of ifttt, press the button "Create task" in the top right corner.


3) Click on ifTHISthenthat link-button.
4) Then choose a "Feed" task in the list


5) In the "Choose a trigger" select the "New feed item" action.
6) Then it will ask to provide a Feed URL. You must enter this one → TPG Priming Beacon Feed

Press "Create trigger"
7) In the "Choose action channel" list choose SMS

Next , if you do it for the first time, you'll have some extra dialogues which would ask you to activate the SMS channel (you'll enter your phone number, then recieve a verification SMS with the verification code etc.)

9) In the next field you press the only button "send me a text message"


10) After that you'll have to enter a message pattern. They provide some tags which you can use.
But I advise you to just enter your small basic text like this:

Or any other text you want to recieve in your SMS.

11) Press large blue button "Create Action"
12) In the "desription" field type anything you want to describe the task.

That's it.
This task will be working on IFTTT servers, and if nothing goes wrong you'll get SMS messages on your phone wherever you are.

This is really a lot easier/faster than it looks. Everybody needs to sign up for this. This site is good for a lot of other things too.
