Crypto price alerts by phone call
Set a target price for Bitcoin, Ethereum or Solana. When the price comes within your chosen distance of it, VMTradeAlert calls your verified mobile number and sends you an email. You do not have to watch the chart.
Hear the call
This is what the phone call sounds like when your price alert fires. It plays in your browser, no phone call is placed.
Incoming call: VMTradeAlert
Sample. A real call uses your own alert and your verified number.
Hello! This is a price alert from VMTradeAlert. Your target price for Bitcoin has been reached. Target price was 95,000.00 dollars. Current price is 94,950.00 dollars. Your note says: Take profit on the breakout. Thank you for using VMTradeAlert.
What you get when an alert fires
Every alert uses the same channels, so you can pick the one you notice fastest.
An email goes out for every alert, whether or not the call connects. It shows the target, the current price and the threshold.
Telegram
If you have linked Telegram on a paid plan and turned price alerts on, you get a short message with the same details.
How to set a crypto price alert
Create an account
Sign up with your email. Login uses a one-time code sent to that email.
Verify your mobile
Add your mobile number on your profile and verify it. Calls only go to a verified number.
Pick a coin and a price
Open Create Alert, choose the coin and enter your target price in USD.
Set the threshold and a note
The nearby threshold is how close the price must get to your target. The note is required and is read out in the call.
Publish
Publish to arm the alert, or save it as a draft and publish later. Published alerts count against your plan limit.
If you use the Trading Checklist, the Create Alert page asks you to complete your mandatory checklist rules before you can save an alert.
Which coins and how the price is checked
| Coin | Symbol | Price source | Check interval |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin | BTCUSDT | Binance US | About every 30 seconds |
| Ethereum | ETHUSDT | Binance US | About every 30 seconds |
| Solana | SOLUSDT | Binance US | About every 30 seconds |
How the trigger works
- The alert fires when the price is inside the range target minus threshold to target plus threshold.
- The check waits 30 seconds after the previous check finishes. It is not a live tick-by-tick feed.
- Each alert fires once. To be alerted again, create a new alert.
- If the price source cannot be reached, that check is skipped and the next one tries again.
Why a phone call
A push notification can sit unread on a locked phone or be muted by a focus mode. A phone call rings until you answer or it ends. That makes it suited to a level you cannot afford to miss.
- It uses the normal phone network, so it works without an app open.
- It states the price in words, so you can understand it without looking at a screen.
- An email copy is always sent, so you have a written record.
Whether a call connects depends on your carrier and phone settings, such as Do Not Disturb. We cannot guarantee that a call is received. See the risk disclaimer. Alerts are information, not advice to buy or sell.

The number of alerts you can hold depends on your plan, and add-on alerts can be bought on top of a plan. An account without an active plan can hold 3 alerts. Drafts are free to save and only count when published. The pricing page lists the current plans.

Crypto price alert questions
Do I get a phone call or only a notification?
You get a phone call if your mobile number is saved and verified on your profile. An email is always sent as well. If you have linked Telegram on a paid plan and switched price alerts on, you also get a Telegram message.
Which coins can I set a price alert on?
Bitcoin (BTCUSDT), Ethereum (ETHUSDT) and Solana (SOLUSDT). The Create Alert page shows the full list you can pick from.
How often is the price checked?
For crypto coins the price is fetched from Binance US about every 30 seconds. The next check starts 30 seconds after the previous one finishes, so an alert can arrive a little after the price moves.
When exactly does the alert fire?
Each alert has a target price and a nearby threshold. It fires when the price comes within the threshold distance of your target. Each alert fires once.
How many alerts can I have?
The limit depends on your plan. An account without an active plan can hold 3 alerts. Draft alerts do not count until you publish them. See the pricing page for plan details.
Can I delete an alert after publishing it?
No. Only drafts can be deleted. Think about the target price and threshold before you publish.
Is a price alert advice to buy or sell?
No. An alert only tells you the price reached the level you chose. What you do next is your decision, and trading carries risk of loss.
