Hello,

Is anyone receiving the GO Transit updates via SMS? I tried to sign up but SO is not one of the listed carriers. Instead I chose Rogers since we are technically piggybacking on their network. No luck as I never got the confirmation text from GO to confirm.

Guess SO customers are SOL?

Not getting them either. However, I would assume that they might not have the system up and running yet. Not sure ast to what carrier you are with would affect your ability to receive texts?

I believe the system is up and running. A friend with Fido was able to sign up and got the confirmation text in minutes. You have to reply to the confirmation text to be fully setup.

I can't even get the confirmation text so no updates. Good to hear it's not just me.

From the Go Transit site…

Note: Certain phone carriers (e.g. Wind Mobile, Public Mobile, Mobilicity) are not included in our list as they do not have the functionality to support text-messages to/from a “short-code” (e.g. 839846). Unfortunately, customers of these phone carriers will not be able to subscribe/register for E-News text messages until the carriers update their networks.

Short codes are not supported by SpeakOut. It's the FAQ on the main site.
