billericayboy28 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 How much does this text cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brightside Bloke Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 All it cost's is the 1st standard text to join the system and your in. It will save you having to ask supporters that go to games and club events what is happening at new lodge. Money well spent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill of Shenfield Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Was this working this week as I did not get any texts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick the Dick Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I believe "live" updates from the games are still on the official club Twitter feed; @btfc, as opposed to the Supporters Association @officialBTSA You can subscribe for Text Message updates from both the Twitter feeds to good old fashioned "dumb-phones", although I cant recall what you need to text where for @btfc. Perhaps someone could re-post it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finisterre Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Text FOLLOW BTFC to 86444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill of Shenfield Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 But this is not the number above! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick the Dick Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 No, the "number above" subscribes you to the supporters association Text/Twitter service. That does not, it would appear, provide "live" updates and to be fair they have not claimed it would. Live updates are available from the official BTFC Text/Twitter feed which has been in operation for several seasons now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finisterre Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 With Twitter the number is always the same and you just send FOLLOW BLAH to 86444 where blah is the @name bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick the Dick Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 The BTSA number is nothing at all to do with Twitter. Apologies, my mishtake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill of Shenfield Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 RIck when I read this I see it as providing live info:- Billericay Town Supporters Association have launched a new text messaging service! Keep up to date with the Blues straight to your mobile. The service will be handy for any fixture news, pitch inspections or postponements, coach travel and club events. We won't bombard you and texts will be sent at sensible hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Association Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 To clarify. The BTSA text message service will NOT provide live scores. It will keep you informed of what you posted above! If you don't want to receive texts, then text STOP and we'll remove your number from the list. Hope that helps!

R40PDB Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 bit of a con.......not even a text about the result .......very misleading.....so how much did that text cost me to sign up for useless info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Association Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Where have we stated that we would provide LIVE scores or a RESULTS service? If you are not happy unsubscribe. It would have cost you your normal text rate, IE, if you have unlimited texts it would be included in that. If your text rate is say 7p per text it would have cost you 7p. I'll happily pay whatever it cost you to text out of my own pocket if you wish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brightside Bloke Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 bit of a con.......not even a text about the result .......very misleading.....so how much did that text cost me to sign up for useless info? Well done mate. Your probably the first person ever to accuse the BTSA of conning.. The whole idea of the post was/is to keep folk up to date on what is happening with the BillericayTown Supporters Association NOT the club/team scores or other shenanigans. The BTSA make no money twitter or Facebook (yet) so please don't accuse us of being out to con you. If your on a crap tariff then tops you will have lost 15p of your worldly savings. I'll personally refund this, just come up to me and make yourself known at any of the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
