SMS alerts
Phone message warnings
SMS alerts are automated text messages sent to notify recipients of time-sensitive information—account activity, appointment reminders, emergency warnings, or security codes.
Banks send SMS alerts for suspicious transactions; schools send them for closures; services send them for two-factor authentication.
Users typically opt in to receive them: I set up SMS alerts for when my balance drops below fifty dollars.
