I'm looking for a service that will email or sms txt message, and I'd like configurable by warning type and county.
I'll even pay if its good... (I know, I know...)

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

Grab RealEMWIN - you run it on your side and configure to your heart's content. Also lets you get a full feed of weather data for the country (and some international) as a bonus! Free trial at http://skywatch.org -- if you like it, just a one-time reg fee (no other payments associated with it.)

Easy. Go to storm now. It's awesome. I get warnings to a pager. It's like $2 a month and you can get just about anything you want for any counties you want. You can get forecast discussions, mesoscale discussions, warnings, watches, and just about any other weather product you could ever think of. I highly recomend it.
If you want you can set it up to get all kinds of warnings for the county you live in and then other warnings (like tornado) for the entire state. Basically you can get any product for any county and then set up another profile where you get another product for a different region. You are allowed unlimited profiles.

You can’t beat the price of emergencyemail.org (free), but if IIRC you can only sign up for one County per address.

In my opinion, Weather Message is the best EMWIN software out there. It's only around $45 (one time fee) if I recall correctly. Just like RealEMWIN, you configure it to alarm on what products/locations you choose...then you can have it email, page, fax you and can have the alerts pop up on your computer screen and can see a map with the counties color coded by alarm type. www.wxmesg.com
It works best if you can put it on a computer that can run 24/7..this way it is always there to alert you. It can grab data from the internet, satellite, VHF rebroadcast, or NOAAPort. The internet feed works very well and is free.
