Frequently Asked Questions
1. Will I be charged for receiving these texts?
MarketBeat doesn’t charge you, but your mobile carrier might. Standard message and data rates apply—check your plan details.
2. How often will I get texts?
Frequency varies. You might get several in a busy market week, or none during quiet periods. There’s no fixed schedule.
3. Can I choose which types of messages I receive?
The current signup covers all three categories (alerts, news, partner offers). For granular control, visit the mailing preferences page after signing up.
4. 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 once it’s deactivated with your carrier.
5. Is my phone number shared with third parties?
MarketBeat’s Privacy Policy explains how your data is handled. Partner offers come through MarketBeat—not by sharing your number directly with partners.
