I can't get SMS reminders working with Movistar (Spain)

Dear friends from Rememberthemilk:

Are SMS reminders working with Movistar at Spain?

I have tried to write my mobile number in several ways:

+34nnnnnnnnn
34nnnnnnnnn
nnnnnnnnn

(34 is my international code)

And none of them seems to work.

I have configured both email and sms reminders, and email is working. Google Calendar SMS reminders are also working, so my networks seems to be OK...

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Carlos

Carlos, we're sending reminders for Movistar to phonenumber@movistar.com -- do you know if this is the correct address for email-to-SMS? (It may be worth trying to email this address directly and see if you receive the message.)

Some mobile providers require you to enable the email-to-SMS service on your account before this will work -- it may also be worth checking with your provider in case this is necessary.

(Google Calendar actually uses a different method to send their reminders, and sends them directly onto the networks as SMS, whereas we use email-to-SMS services.)

Thanks!
