Kevin or someone else at 247Sports headquarters will have to do that for you. Either send a PM to Kevin (if he doesn't see your post in this thread first) or email support@247sports.com.

If you follow the steps in the original post you should be able to do it yourself fairly easily.

I didn't. Tough to send a text alert after a loss. Will send one tomorrow - maybe recruiting related.

Let me know if you get that second message again. I assume that is something they have to do the first time they send a text to someone. I want to make sure you don't get that second message each time we send one. Thanks.
