Why am I not receiving text (SMS) messages?

You may not be receiving an alert for one of the following reasons:

  • You have not provided your phone number on your user profile.

  • Your phone number in your user profile is incorrect.

  • You have created the alert less than 30 minutes ago. Please wait 30 minutes and check it is working.

  • Your email provider or cellphone carrier (SMS) has blocked the emails or texts.

  • Your email is in the ‘other’ or 'promotions folder

  • Your gateway has gone offline and FarmRoad hasn’t received any data relevant to the alert configuration

  • One or more of the parameters in your alert configuration result in the alert never being triggered. E.g. you have configured the alert for when temperatures go above 50 degrees C
