Q. How do I send a text Message?
You may consult your user manual for specific instructions for your phone.

Q. What if I do not receive a confirmation message?
If you are sure you sent the correct keyword, it can be that it is delayed at the network. Network congestion and bandwidth will sometimes slow the sending/receiving of text messages. If you are trying to enter a sweepstakes, you can only enter once per day and if you have already entered, you will not receive any more messages until you enter again the next day. However, if it has been over 24 hours since you have sent your message and you have not received a confirmation text message you can contact mobile.info@us.rediff.com or call 646-432-6058 for assistance.
