Review alert types

Talk usage alerts

You’ll get a text alert before you use all your domestic talk minutes if you have any Rollover Minutes®. You may get more alerts if you go over your limit.

Pay-per-use messaging and data alerts

Some older text and data plans charge a pay-per-use rate for every message or data session used. If you have one of these plans, we’ll send you an initial text message or email alert when you reach $20 in overage charges. You may get other overage alerts depending on your plan.

International alerts

Traveling out of the U.S.? You may get international alerts.

Older messaging and data plan alerts

If you have an older plan we don’t offer anymore, you’ll get text alerts before you go over your monthly message or data limit. We’ll also send you alerts once you’ve reached your limit.
