As of January 28th, 2019 Remind users who use Verizon for their service will no longer receive Remind messages as texts.

Sprint, T-mobile, and customers of other carriers are NOT affected. Only Verizon customers. See below for links to more details.

Verizon customers have two options [both are free]:

1. Turn on smartphone notifications in the Remind app settings [it’s already installed on student iPads]
2. Go to Remind.com, login to your account, and turn on email notifications. [You might have to create an account if you haven’t already done so.]
