Text Messaging Disruption
Incident Report for FiveStars
Resolved
Fivestars text messaging has now been fully restored and will be sent from our traditional short code number of 578277.

The disruption to our texting service was caused by the usage of Text-to-Join codes by a number of merchants who were out of compliance with regulations created by phone carriers. We are still working to update our Text-to-Join policy in order to prevent future incidents. As a result, Text-to-Join functionality is temporarily disabled, but we expect it to be restored shortly
