More on Reddit and SMS
About Reddit
Reddit is a social news website. Turn on Applets that help you discover and save the best content from "the front page of the Internet," and quickly and easily create your own posts.
About SMS
Get important notifications on your phone via SMS. This service has a cap of 100 SMS messages per month for users in the US and Canada and 10 per month for those outside of North America. To avoid having Applets paused until the next month if you hit the limit, try the Notifications service. Some carriers outside of the US are not supported yet (learn more here). Please note: Messages sent must adhere to IFTTT's message guidelines.
