Can anyone recommend a simple to set up and use alert system?

Ideally, I just want to be able to receive a message on my iPhone that will tell me if the price of a given share has hit a specified level.

Interactive Investor offer a free account which enables the setting up of price-alerts :-

I'm not sure if these alerts will send a text, as I've only ever used them for email alerts, but I will assume that an email alert to your Iphone will give you the same level of awareness?

Many thanks, to my shame I actually use iii as my main trading platform, but I'd never realised this was available.

I've set it up as a test, and it works excellently, sending alerts by text and/or email as soon as the price passes a set point, which was exactly what I wanted.
