Which Share Site - for Alerting changes by Email/SMS

I currently use Cahoots Sharetrade to trade shares, although I find their site very hard going and the alert system is terrible as alerts you even when price not down!

Does anyone know a good cheap site to trade shares, and has a great alert system which sms's your mobile and emails you if a change in the share you are watching?

Cheers

    Dont use sharecrazy!!

    For the simple reason that you can get exactly the same service from http://www.hoodlessbrennan.com/ for £2 less on buys and sells, as sharecrazy are a spin off from hoodless and charge the extra £2 on the same service!

    The Sharecrazy service is provided by hoodless brennan, so why pay more for the same product?
  • Hi Bigup, thanks for that, nice one..

    Can you do alerts on it as couldn't see this?, so you can get an sms or email if a offer goes up etc.

    No unfortunately you cant do that (well you couldnt the last time i checked!). Its a cheap and cheerful service, good customer service (although i was with share crazy)

    I didnt bother changing as i didnt want the hassle of opening new accounts etc, and was reasonably happy paying extra £4 as my shares were doing well.....ive now changed accounts to another broker though.

    Good luck with your trading.
