About the Weekly Update SMS Message

Two shortened hyperlinks are provided in the Weekly Update SMS message sent to your mobile device. Those shortened hyperlinks are essential in order to keep within a 160-character limit.

ALL hyperlinks used in AlertsUSA SMS messages are completely safe and will have the following form:

https://nxt.to/xxxxxxx (where 'xxxxxxx' is a unique 7-digit link identifier).

As shown above, we will NOT include the shortened hyperlinks in the email version of our alert messages so as to prevent being classified as SPAM.

The link marked 'PODCAST' leads to the SoundCloud streaming service allowing you to easily listen to the weekly audio update message on your mobile device or computer.

The final link marked NEWSLETTER leads to a mobile friendly version of the weekly Threat Journal newsletter, which provides an greatly expanded written version of the audio message, links to additional information sources, news items resources, and more. In most cases, you should also receive Threat Journal in a separate, standalone email. KEEP THAT SUBSCRIPTION as there is often content provided which is best viewed on a standard computer.
