Instructions for Addressing Call Issues with School Messenger Alerts:
If you experienced issues receiving a phone call from our School Messenger system (ie: you did not receive a call), please follow these steps to ensure you receive future alerts. This issue may occur due to spam and robocall filtering systems used by certain carriers, such as AT&T, Cricket, and T-Mobile, which might mistakenly flag our number, 610-264-5571, as spam.
To resolve this issue, we recommend the following based on your carrier:
For AT&T Users:
- Download the AT&T Call Protect App from the App Store or Google Play.
- Open the app and navigate to Settings.
- Add 610-264-5571 to your list of approved numbers or save it in your phone’s contacts.
For Cricket Wireless Users:
- Cricket uses the same AT&T Call Protect App. Follow the same steps listed above.
For T-Mobile Users:
- Log in to your T-Mobile account or download the T-Mobile Scam Shield App.
- Navigate to Settings and select the option to manage blocked or flagged numbers.
- Add 610-264-5571 to your Allowed Numbers list or save it in your contacts.
For Other Carriers:
- Save 610-264-5571 in your phone’s contacts to reduce the chance of the number being flagged as spam.
We also recommend:
- Providing an SMS (text) number through the Emergency Contact Form.
- Opting in to receive text messages by following the SMS opt-in instructions shared earlier.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your attention to this matter to ensure timely communication. If you continue to experience issues, please contact the district office for assistance.
