Please check the MIT Alert website to ensure that your information is complete and up-to-date. Also, check with your cell phone or mobile device provider to ensure that your phone is capable of receiving text messages. If you are not sure whether your cell phone or mobile device can successfully receive text messages, you can test it. Visit http://web.mit.edu/ist/topics/telecommunications/cellphones.html and click the link for your service provider. It is possible that you may have been contacted in a different way, such as phone or email. Also, depending on the nature of the emergency, some alerts are not sent to everyone on campus.
