Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be charged for these texts?
Maybe. MarketBeat doesn’t charge you, but your phone carrier might. Standard text messaging rates apply. Check your plan or contact your carrier to be sure.
How many texts will I get?
It varies. Some days you might get several alerts (busy market days), other days none at all. There’s no set schedule.
Do I have to sign up for texts to use MarketBeat?
Nope! Consenting to texts is completely optional. You can use all of MarketBeat’s website features without ever getting a single text.
What if I change my phone number?
You’ll need to sign up again with your new number. The old number will stop receiving messages automatically.
Are the partner ads spam?
MarketBeat calls them "partner advertisements/offers"—these are promotions from companies MarketBeat works with. If you don’t like them, you can always unsubscribe with STOP.
