Important Note:
If you plan to use authentication on any entry in the address book, the phone numbers of these
individuals should be preceded with the country code. For the U.S., enter "1". This allows
authentication to work properly by allowing the SMSFinder box to successfully match the cell phone
number of a received trigger message with the phone number in the authentication list.
