MarketBeat SMS Service: A Super Simple Guide

What Are We Talking About?

SMS is just a fancy word for text messages you get on your phone. MarketBeat (a company that shares stock market info) can send these texts to you.

Where Can You Get These Texts?

Right now, the service works in these countries:

• Australia
• Belgium
• Canada
• France
• Germany
• Ireland
• Italy
• New Zealand
• the Netherlands
• Singapore
• South Africa
• Spain
• Switzerland
• the United Kingdom
• the United States

How Do You Sign Up?

When you type your phone number and click the sign-up button, you are giving MarketBeat a thumbs-up to send you text messages at that number. Some of those texts might be sent by a computer system that automatically dials and sends messages (so no person is typing each one individually).

What Kind of Texts Will You Receive?

The messages will include things like:

• Stock alerts (updates about company shares)
• News stories (interesting market news)
• Partner advertisements/offers (special deals from MarketBeat’s friends)

The number of messages you get will go up and down—there’s no fixed amount.

Important Things to Know

Important:

• Your phone company might charge you for sending/receiving these texts (called "message and data rates").
• Agreeing to get texts is not required if you want to buy any MarketBeat product or service. You can purchase without signing up.
• Texts may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system.

How to Get Help or Stop the Texts

If you ever need assistance or want to opt out, follow these steps:

1. Get help: Text the word HELP to the number that sent you the message for customer support.
2. Unsubscribe anytime:
   • Reply STOP to any MarketBeat text message, or
   • Visit their mailing preferences page: https://www.marketbeat.com/mailing-preferences/
