SMS Text Messaging Alerts Q & A

  • Overview
  • What happens if I provide a phone number to receive text messages?

    Posted by:

    We will input your text-enabled phone number into the system, and the Blackboard Connect service will automatically send a text message to your mobile phone to confirm your request.

    Comments (-1)
  • From what number will these text messages originate?

    Posted by:

    All confirmation text messages and subsequent alerts will come from 23177 or 63079. Please save this number and program it as (Location Name) so you can quickly recognize this number as the official source of our messages.

    Comments (-1)
  • What will the confirmation message say?

    Posted by:

    The confirmation message will read the following:

    HELLGATE: You are confirmed to receive alerts from us. More info text reply "HELP" or "STOP 7282402" to opt out. Msg&data rates may apply

    Comments (-1)
  • How do I opt-out to receive text messages from Blackboard Connect?

    Posted by:

    When you receive the confirmation, please text reply back with STOP 5424050. The confirmation message will read the following:

    You are now confirmed to stop receiving messages from us.

    If you no longer have that message on your phone, please contact us at (406)728-2400, ext. 1026 or email talong@mcps.k12.mt.us  to provide a text-enabled phone number and opt out request.

  • What happens if I text reply “HELP”?

    Posted by:

    If you text reply HELP, you will receive the following message:

    Bb Connect notifications. Msg freq per acct setting. For more info www.blackboardconnect.com/sms, sms@blackboard.com. To opt-out text STOP

  • I did not receive a confirmation message. What happened?

    Posted by:

    Check with your provider to see if text messaging has been enabled since you will need to be subscribed to a text messaging plan in order to receive or reply to text messages. You should also ask your mobile phone provider if your device accepts premium text messages.

  • I did not receive a confirmation message because my phone wasn’t text enabled.

    Posted by:

    I have since contacted my mobile phone provider to enable it. Do I need another confirmation message sent? 

    No. If your SMS phone was already submitted to our database, you should be confirmed to receive SMS alerts. However, you can check if you are opted-in by texting the word “SUBSCRIBE” to 23177 or 63079 and you will receive the following reply:

     

    HELLGATE: This phone number has already been opted in. More info text reply "HELP" or "STOP 7282402" to opt-out

    Comments (-1)
  • What if I opted-out but later decide I would like to opt-in again?

    Posted by:

    You may request to begin receiving text messages by texting “SUBSCRIBE 7282402" to 23177 or 63079.

    Comments (-1)
  • If I change mobile phone providers but keep the same number, do I need to opt-in again?

    Posted by:

    No.  Once your phone number has been opted-in, it stays registered within the system.
