Event Alerts for Mobile Phones |
Even if you do have a Twitter account, you can use Twitter Fast Follow to receive messages from our dedicated event alert account (@WDWCAlerts) as text messages (SMS messages) on your phone. More information on Twitter Fast Follow can be found at the Twitter Help Center, from which these directions were derived.
To get started:
- Text Follow @WDWCAlerts to the Twitter shortcode for your country (US is 40404, Canada is 21212, UK is 86444; click the link for others) and you will start receiving Tweets from us on your device.
Some notes on Fast Follow:
- Fast Follow users have a limit to how many updates they can receive daily. If you have hit your limit, you will receive the message “You've reached your daily limit for Tweet notifications”. If you would like to receive more updates just reply with your full name and follow the instructions to upgrade to a full Twitter account.
