Getting a text message
« on: September 13, 2012, 10:57:16 AM »
It says there's a way to get a text message every time dansdeals is updated. It says to go through twitter. I have a twitter account but never use it. When I click on getting text messages it goes to twitter and shows me dansdeals. I have no clue what to do to get the text messages. Any help on that?

I have received the tweet deal texts for 6 months now. Recently I stopped getting them, I checked my settings and everything is still enabled.

When you go to @DansDeals can you see if mobile notifications are enabled?
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.

Maybe try unfollowing and delinking your cell phone and do the process again.

Update:

I just got the Ashford watches deal tweet. Thanks for the advice Dan, it worked. I wonder why it had issues in the firs place though?

+1. Had the same problem a few weeks back not with text messages but with tweets notification on iphone. Un-follow and Re-follow fixed it

Put a space between the 2 words. Just searched Twitter and it seems many are making this mistake.
