Please bring back text notification for CPU's and any other type of upgrade that clears.
My solution to this was to use the SMS e-mail box for my wireless provider (e.g. for Verizon Wireless, [email protected], where I substitute in the phone # of my mobile).

This isn't perfect for two reasons:
  • Even when specifying "mobile device" as the address type, the e-mails are larger than a single SMS and get split into two separate SMS messages.
  • You can apparently have only one active e-mail address at a time (the "add" button allows you to add new addresses, but you still can only send to one of them). I'd like to send to my mobile device and my e-mail inbox; there are places I can't check my e-mail on my mobile device but can still get SMS messages.
