Hello Everyone,
If you’re like me, you enjoy getting a forecast of your local weather conditions. This can be especially useful in areas where severe weather patterns are forming.
While I enjoy all of the wonderfully creative and entertaining Smartphone Apps, I really just want the bottom-line information; that is why I prefer receiving data via text message alerts. The weather Channel (weather.com) provides such a service and I strongly recommend that, if you live in the USA, you make use of it.
SERVICE DESCRIPTION
Weather Forecasts via Text Messaging
Although The Weather Channel does not charge for text message alerts, message and data rates may apply from your mobile phone company.
The Weather Channel has two text messaging options to meet your needs, subscription and on-demand.
Subscription
Receive a local 36-hour forecast every day.
We are no longer able to offer SMS messages on the Sprint/Nextel, Boost Mobile, and Virgin Mobile network and will halt service on April 5.You can continue to access weather.com on the mobile web or download one of our apps.
Subscriptions auto renew every 30 days.
To end your subscriptions, reply “STOP” to any message.
On-Demand
Need the weather, but don’t want to subscribe? You can get on-demand weather info for any U.S. city or ZIP code via text message anytime. This is not a subscription. You will only receive a forecast when you request it.
Enjoy,
Mark
