Text Message Notifications Will Come From New Number


 Text Message Notifications Will Come From New Number

Text messaging is an important method for us to communicate with you. From billing alerts to service updates, text messaging is an effective way for us to help keep you updated on your service and news regarding Sam Houston Electric Cooperative.

We wanted to let you know of a small change to our text messaging. When you receive a text message from Sam Houston EC it has previously come from a short code (768482). Starting today, text messages from Sam Houston EC will come from (844) 961-2539. We’re making this change to help ensure we continue to communicate effectively with you through text.

If you experience a power outage in the future, please text OUT to this new number, (844) 961-2539.

If you do not currently have text alerts set up, log into your mySamHouston account, and click on “Notifications”, then “Manage Notifications” to configure text alerts that you would like to receive.

This new texting number will not affect your service or communication from us in any way. You will simply use the number (844) 961-2539 to receive Sam Houston EC texts from and send outage texts to the Cooperative.
