| Supplemental Info:
Dear AlertsUSA Subscriber,
In early August, AlertsUSA customers were notified of new regulatory changes taking effect within the U.S. telecommunications industry.
Specifically, 5-digit short codes (such as those from which AlertsUSA messages historically originate, i.e. 67329, etc..) are being phased out nationally.
These 5-digit short codes are being replaced industry-wide by what are referred to as 10DLC, or "10-digit long codes."
What Does This Mean For AlertsUSA Subscribers?
Nothing.... aside from the fact that once our 5-digit short codes are deactivated, our alert messages will instead show up on your phones as originating from a 10-digit number (our "10DLC").
When is the Change Taking Place?
For AlertsUSA, the change will take place Monday, Sept 30 at 3:00 PM EASTERN.
The new AlertsUSA 10DLC number is as follows:
833 442 9696
While it looks like a standard telephone number, it is not. The number is linked to computer server dedicated to sending SMS messages through the national wireless infrastructure.
On Monday afternoon, you will receive a test message from AlertsUSA via this 10DLC.
We STRONGLY encourage you to save it to your list of contacts as "AlertsUSA," so as to assure instant recognition of who is sending you messages in the future.
AlertsUSA is nearing it's 18th anniversary. Thank you for your support over the years as the company continues to evolve with the telecom industry.
Sincerely,
The AlertsUSA Team
