I had my rule send to vtext, vzwpix,and my email. Only the email is reliable. Tried to create a forward filter for my email, but the validation step fails. Ugh.

It appears the problem may be with Verizon. I saw a message on the Elk support forum that's what I'm seeing. Sending to [email protected] to get a text appears to have unreliable delivery. When I send it to my email it works fine. Now, how to troubleshoot Verizon...

Perfect, thanks! Will try on my next trip up, tough having the equipment 3 hours away!
