NOTE: Verizon does not currently support Brightkite SMS.
It is not our fault, they have not approved Brightkite on their network yet. You may want to try Verizon customer support with a request to support us.
Many Verizon users have been using Brightkite via mobile email. Mobile email works exactly the same way as the SMS interface. Put the command in the body, just be sure that the email is plain text, and that you don't have any interfering email signatures. You can't send a photo and check in at the same time (yet).
