Questions

I don't see TEXT MESSAGES in MY.SETTINGS.

Your store hasn't turned on texting yet. Ask the store if they plan to offer text alerts.

Do I have to pay for texts?

Not always. If your store covers text alerts, turn them on in MY ACCOUNT → MY.SETTINGS; no plan is needed. Some stores cover a daily summary and let you buy a plan for instant texts. Others ask you to buy your own plan.

I replied STOP by mistake. How do I get texts again?

Reply START to the same number, or go to MY ACCOUNT → MY.SETTINGS, tick START - YES, TEXT ME AT MY MOBILE NUMBER and click SAVE CHANGES.

I paid for a plan but it doesn't show.

Make sure you paid with the e-mail address on your myPortal account, then click CHECK MY SUBSCRIPTION. It can take a minute after payment.

Can I get texts on a phone number outside the US?

Not yet. Text alerts work with US mobile numbers only.
