The ‘Yellowbrick Messenger’ app is available to download from the
Android and Apple App Stores – this software allows you to pair your
smartphone or tablet with the Yellowbrick V3 and send messages to
email and SMS destinations through it from anywhere in the world.
It also allows you to update your social media status amongst other

This is called Advanced Messaging, and is only available on some
