I got it to work. BUT: if there are certain applications open eg. google chat. It prompts you to navigate away from that page. So my question is, Is there a way to override those prompts and cause a forced shutdown with a text message?

@LeviScottD Causing a forced complete shutdown is not a very good idea. You can cause files to not close properly which can cause a little damage.

does it work you put sprint and you put att im confused it's not working

[mrmcweird]

you have to text your email address. Once it shows up, it will have a number followed by an email address. example: 6125555555@messaging.sprint.pc­s. use this email address
