So it easily could, but at the moment it does not. I'd need to look into how EU numbers are formatted and figure out who the major carriers are and what not.
Are you in the EU HowIMetYourMother?
That's interesting...I could see adding that in as a feature...I don't *think* it would be that hard. It could be an extra feature that people could turn on if they want alerts for when their friends are simply online. I'll look into that.
So you only get alerts when a friend is actually in a game (not when they are "online").
It works like this.
Select a friend
Select the games you wanted to be notified for
Get alerts when said friend is in the game and actually playing
HEEEYYYoooo. Check it out everyone. Based on your feedback and a great tip from someone who will remain nameless *cough*killerzebra*cough*, I have made the site completely free. No more subscriptions or different plans. Just 1 account that you can set up as many alerts as you want with.

Well "easier" is relative. I'm more of a web guy, but yes I did think I could build out a mobile app with push notifications in the future. If this was a tool people liked and found useful.
haha, yeah it's not for everyone. And I do have a free tier right now so people can try it out. But I'm going to look into the email option as well see what the draw backs are and what not, maybe that's a good alternative.
Nice! Thanks for the feedback. It tough because sending text's isn't free (otherwise I'd make it 100% free) I have to use a 3rd party company to do that. But that's good feedback.
KillerZebra - I mainly wanted it because I am never at my computer, and so when one of my friends jumps into say TF2 or CS:GO, I would get a text message and then could jump in the game and play with them if I wanted to.
It's was mainly a way for me to be lazy...and not have to be at my...
Heyo Skial peoples.
I've got some questions for anyone that is interested. I've created my own alert tool from the steam API and made it into a website. I've been testing it out with my friends, but I need more gamers to try it out and get their opinions.
The site is OrbitAlerts.com...
