What is text messaging (SMS)?
• Text messaging, or Short Message Service (SMS), is a service offered by most wireless service providers and available on the vast majority of today's mobile phones. You can use it to send and receive short messages (up to 160 characters) to communicate with friends or get information from services like ScoresToSMS.com. The act of sending a text message can be referred to as texting. Because text messaging fees depend on your particular wireless plan, please contact your wireless service provider for more information on text messaging charges, service plans, and rules and regulations.

What are text alerts?
• Text alerts are a convenient way to automatically receive information on your mobile device via text messages that you can receive on a schedule or when interesting events occur. For example, you can get your favorite sports team's latest score sent to your phone every day at a certain time or as soon as the game's over.
