text alert
Message with buzz
A text alert is a notification sent via SMS to inform recipients of time-sensitive information—emergency warnings, school closings, appointment reminders, or security codes.
Organizations use text alerts because they reach people quickly and don't require internet access: Sign up for text alerts from your bank.
The term emphasizes urgency compared to ordinary text messages.
