I recall reading something about signing out then back in. Could be wrong.

Or keep the same account, but keep "username" in the texts, so you can see which account it's from.

Then I'll automatically get two texts, as is most texts hit the max per text, quite annoying to get the link in the next post many times.

It's not ideal. Messages are 1-8 minutes delayed. But it's better than nothing if you don't have Telegram.
Indeed, came in 8 minutes the last deal of the floss.

 Someone set this up, wonder if it works.

You can now text start to dansdeals@t9velt.com to get their tweets. It may be unstable because it has not undergone full error checking.

 What site is this even?

   Will try it and see what happens.

I'm still perusing some other options.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

If your web developer can write something to automatically send a webhook somewhere whenever a new post is published (this may be very easy), you can have that sent to Zapier and it can send email/sms etc instantly (some Zapier triggers are instant and receiving webhooks is one of them, I use it extensively).

EG: You could use this action https://zapier.com/apps/sms/integrations and have it sent to groupme.

Many of the bulk sms options have zapier integrations which might help. https://zapier.com/apps/integrations

I can't help with the developer/wordpress side but can help with the Zapier side if you want.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

I guess that explains why you never posted that post.
  Kind of annoying not to get an instant notification.
   Lots of deals last for 5-10 if not less.

 So every minute is a game changer, and nevertheless 8min.

 Thanks Dan.. let's hope for something.

For a mobile, what you suggest? Meaning an Android vs a flip phone(sms).

  Browser notification worked for the first post and that's about it.
 Will have to delete everything and re-subscribe and see if that works, unless...?

I haven't tried notifications on mobile. Do you have email on your phone? You could then do email notifications with IFTTT for free (every 15 minutes) or if Dan sets up something with zapier and webhooks, or an instant email notification with every new post that could work.

I do have, that might be a better option, as it works great.
 Meaning I knew you responded to my post, being that I got a taptalk notification when it works and an email.

Why can't you use same software as retail stores that send mass texts

They don't send out so many texts/month. For less than 100 per month, there are many options.

Probably worth it for them to pay whatever.
