We are pleased to announce a new “beta” feature for assignr.com: text messaging! If you are a referee using assignr.com, you can now sign up to receive game updates and reminders via text message on your cell phone.
Our job is to make it easy for assignors and officials to communicate. We are thrilled to be able to add this as a feature in assignr.com.
Assignors and referees are encouraged to go the assignr.com “Help” link and read the section on SMS text messaging for details on how to set up your phone to accept assignr.com text messages. It is a simple and straight forward process.
If you are a referee using assignr.com, here’s what you get with text messaging:
- If a game is changed withing 24 hours of the start of the game, you’ll get a text message
- Your game reminders will be delivered by text message, in addition to via e-mail
- Normal notifications via e-mail will continue to work as always
We believe that this feature is ready to go. Having said that, we’re calling this a “beta” feature because we have limited capability to test out this service on the wide variety of mobile carriers. If you encounter issues, please open a support ticket and we will address the issue.
As you might expect, if you choose to use this feature of assignr.com, additional charges from your mobile carrier due to sending and receiving text messages are your responsibility.
Thank you to all our clients for your support and continuing business with us.
