Servicelink sms

I agreed to receiving sms messaging from them.

Does one have to have internet on phone to get them? Won't just texting work?

If you agreed to the sms, have you been receiving any already?

Thanks

I thought sms WAS texting

But, I am unsure. I have an everything included plan.
Waiting to hear from more tech-savvy posters.

I say yes you need a data plan. I get the sms and there is a link to accept which takes you to a website specifically for your link. You click accept or decline.

You cant just reply accept. Now if they allowed that Im sure tehy would have to monitor who the numbers belong to. But the link is specific to you.

I accepted by clicking the link and choosing accept and I got an email directly to me of my confirmed accepted assignment with all pertinent information.

ToniK is correct. You must have a data plan. I too get the sms and go to the link to accept the signing.

I have noticed that calls are not as frequent since I agreed to the sms messaging.
Will have to get the data plan or tell them no sms for now.
