School Messenger

Text "Y" or "YES" to 67587 from each wireless device you wish to receive texts on. 

Note: It may take 24 hours or more for numbers to be updated.

Recipients not wishing to receive text messages to a particular number can simply do one of the following:

• Don’t opt-in and don’t reply to the opt-in invitation message.
• Text STOP to 67587 at any time.
• Opt-out online at http://schoolmessenger.com/txtmsg

If it was from 67587, that was most likely the Opt-In Invitation message sent by SchoolMessenger.

To continue receiving informational text messages from the school(s) reply with Y. If you do not reply, you won’t receive any future texts from our schools.

Ensure that Bishop O'Gorman Catholic Schools has your correct device number in their database. It may take 24 hours for a number to become active after being changed or added to the district’s system.

Send a text with "Y" or "YES", from that specific device to 67587. You should receive an opt-in confirmation message from the School Messenger service.

If you want to receive texts on multiple devices, each device number must complete the Opt-In process.

Please feel free to contact us at info@ogknights.org if you are not receiving texts.

After you text one of the key words to the short code the system will ALWAYS respond back with one of three messages:

• Opt-in Response: You're registered 4 SchoolMessenger notifications. Reply STOP to cancel, HELP for help. Msg&data rates may apply. msg freq varies. schoolmessenger.com/txt
• Opt-out Response: You’re unsubscribed from SchoolMessenger. No more messages will be sent. Reply Y to resubscribe or Help for help. Msg & data rates may apply schoolmessenger.com/tm
• Help or Unknown Key Word Response: SchoolMessenger notification service: Reply Y to subscribe or STOP to cancel. Msg&data rates may apply. Msg freq varies. Visit schoolmessenger.com/txt for info
• Any other response – or no response: Indicates the recipient should contact their wireless device provider to have SMS messaging/premium content enabled (see below question for more details).

If you receive what appears to be an error message, similar to one of the following, it most likely means that short code text messaging is not enabled on your wireless subscription plan:

• Service access denied
• Message failed
• Shortcode may have expired or shortcode texting may be blocked on your account
• Does not participate

These replies DO NOT indicate that the wireless provider cannot receive messages from Communicate. Rather, they are an indication that the specific mobile device does not have short code SMS texting enabled for that number (this is sometimes disabled by default on company provided cell phones). To address this, contact your wireless provider.

Note: Providers sometimes use various names for this type of texting service (e.g. short code, SMS, premium, etc.). If you simply ask about text messaging, your carrier may assume you are referring to person-to-person. Therefore, be very clear to refer to “short code” text messages. Most TV programs that have a voting component use short code SMS messaging (e.g. American Idol, Dancing with the Stars). In addition, many department or grocery stores use SMS to distribute coupons and deals. Using an example such as this can be helpful in clarifying the type of texting service you want to enable.

Communicate does not charge recipients for the text messages that they receive or send to the short code; however, wireless providers may charge for individual text messages, depending on the plan associated with the wireless device. Please consult your carrier if you are uncertain.
