How often will you text me?
It depends on what you pick. Weather and city alerts only go out when there’s a warning or an urgent notice, which is usually just a few times a month. The events & deals text is once a week, on Thursdays.
Does it cost anything?
No. The alerts are free. Your carrier’s standard message and data rates may apply.
How do I stop?
Reply STOP to any text. Or enter your number below and we’ll stop them.
Will you share my number?
No. We never sell or share your number. See the privacy policy.
Can I change which alerts I get?
Yes. Sign up again with the same number and your new choices replace the old ones.
