How Do You Sign Up?
It’s as easy as pie! Just follow these steps:
- Type your phone number into the sign-up box.
- Click the “sign-up” button.
- By doing that, you’re saying it’s okay for MarketBeat to send you texts at that number.
Important: When you sign up, you agree that MarketBeat can send you texts even using a computer that automatically dials your number (this is called an automatic telephone dialing system). You don’t need to know the techy details, just know it’s a way to send many texts quickly without a person typing each one.
What Kind of Messages Will You Get?
The texts from MarketBeat will include things like:
- Stock alerts (tell you about changes in company shares)
- News stories (interesting articles about the market)
- Partner advertisements/offers (messages from friends of MarketBeat who want to tell you about their stuff)
The number of texts you get will vary—some days you might get more, some days less. They are periodic, meaning they come from time to time.
Will It Cost You Money?
Important: Message and data rates may apply. This means your phone company might charge you for sending or receiving these texts, just like any other SMS. Check with your phone plan if you’re not sure!
Do You Have to Buy Anything?
Nope! Consent is not a condition of the purchase of any goods or services. That’s a fancy way of saying: you can get the texts without having to buy something from MarketBeat. You can just read them without spending money.
How to Get Help or Stop the Texts
If you need help:
- Text HELP to get customer support.
If you want to stop getting texts, you have two easy options:
- Reply "STOP" to any text message from MarketBeat.
- Visit their mailing preferences page at our mailing preferences page and unsubscribe there.
You can do this at any time—no questions asked!
