TextMyGov – Get Alerts

The City of Montague is excited to launch TextMyGov, a new, smart text messaging service! Residents can use the service to text and search the interactive system for specific city information, and receive important notifications, updates, and alerts.

Montague will officially launch the new text messaging system to the public soon. Residents may receive a text message from 91896 from the city initiating the service. You can choose to opt-out at any time by texting STOP. If you don’t receive the initial message, you can choose to opt-in by texting the keyword “MONTAGUEALERTS” to the number 91896. After sending the initial keyword, you will be asked to reply “YES” to confirm opt-in. Residents may receive notifications for upcoming events, public safety updates, street closures, city activities, etc.

Also starting soon, residents will be able to receive on-demand information 24/7 by texting 1- 2 keywords to the City’s TextMyGov number (231-638-4803). You’ll be able to get quick information about common questions and general information (water, sewer, parks, etc.). Montague’s use of this technology is another example of how the city is enhancing resident services by implementing 21st -century solutions. We’re excited about this new way of communicating with residents and we look forward to sharing important city notifications. Other governmental entities across the country are utilizing this system with great success. Stay informed and stay engaged.
