volnation sends out texts.. don't have the link handy but all you have to do is register your phone number.

i'm sure if you PM one of the mods they can get you set up.

Is this for real?

If it is then point me in the direction of a mod! I'd love to receive texts tomorrow!!!

found it.

VOLNATION TEXT ALERTS

For text alerts, we will be sending them out through the VolNation twitter account. In order to get these texts on your phone you must sign up for a twitter account. Once you've signed up for an account, or if you already have an account, please follow the instructions below to get text messages on your phone from VolNation.

(If you already have a twitter account and have mobile alerts set up you should skip straight to step 9)


1. Text the word start to 40404.
2. You will receive a text asking for your username.
3. Reply to that text with your twitter username.
4. You will receive a text asking for your twitter password.
5. Reply to that text with your twitter password (passwords are case sensitive so be sure your phone doesn't capitalize the first letter).
6. You will receive a text stating that your password is correct and asking you to confirm text alerts.
7. Reply to that text with ok.
8. Now you are all set up to receive texts.
9. Lastly, reply to the last text with the text follow volnation
10. You will now receive a text stating that you will see our tweets on your phone.

You can stop receiving texts from Volnation at any time by replying to any of the texts above with the text stop volnation. Or you can turn off all text notifications by replying with stop.

(In all of the examples above I have you replying to a text. In any of those steps you can choose to send a new text to 40404 instead. Either way works)

You can edit your mobile settings here: https://twitter.com/devices. It allows you to set times that you don't wish to receive texts.

Keep in mind, while you are getting tweets from VolNation you will also receive texts notifying you of new recruiting articles on the home page. There are usually only one to two per day max and some days there aren't any.

Lastly, I plan to send out quite a few tweets throughout the day as news breaks so please be prepared for that. But remember, you can stop the alerts at any time by texting stop to 40404.

Let me know if anyone has any questions.

Hrm but that is using twitter which I don't have :cray:

I don't consider myself as having a twitter account either, couldn't tell you my username or password. I just signed up for that link last year so that I could get the text updates, which are nice (except for the lady hoops alerts).

It has been really helpful. Got the Curt Maggitt text in subway and made a really big scene.

Go to TOS and scroll down to the very bottom. You'll see a text alerts link. Register your phone, and Knoxnews will send you updates tomorrow as the LOI's are signed and faxed.

Where is this at on TOS? Must be overlooking it but I just can't find it.

Just get the freaking Twitter account for the texts on the signings. I did it last yr and it is the only thing I have ever done with Twitter and I will get them throughout the day. VN will get the get you the signings faster then Knoxnews. Hell, I could forward them faster to you.
