3. You will see a box for “Email and Text Messaging Setup.” Click the Add SMS button to the right of the box.
4. Fill in the Cell Number and Cell Carrier in the pop up and click the Send button
   1. If you have a Tracfone, use this website to identify your carrier  http://preprepaid.com/whichtracfonecarrier.php
5. A pop up will say that a text has been sent to the cell number for verification
6. Check your cell phone for this message and note the Verification / Validation code. Note that some cell carriers can take awhile to deliver the message.

8. The cell number will appear in the box with the “Verified” checkbox checked
9. The team admin cannot do this entirely for you due to the step of receiving the verification text on your phone.
