I am so excited to announce this fun, new feature! For those of you that don’t want to miss a HOT deal, I’ve got a great announcement for you (you can still get updates immediately via Facebook here too)! You can now get the HOTTEST, time sensitive deals from Raining Hot Coupons sent right to your cell phone via text message!
It’s very easy to sign up for…All you need to do is send a text message to 40404 saying “Follow RainingCoupon” (note: there is no “S” at the end). You will then get a text message back letting you know you are signed up (this can take a few minutes)! You do not need to have a Twitter account to use the service and it is completely FREE!
Just so you know, this will NOT send you all the deals….only the HOTTEST, time sensitive ones and will be used sparingly. You can also cancel at anytime.
Standard text messaging cell phone rates apply, but this service is 100% FREE!
Hmmmm .. I’m game …lets give it a try .. Thanks !
Didnt receive text msg back yet. Been 20 min.
Trying now…
Yeah…..two things I love, my iphone and Raining hot coupons….now together !!!!!!!! Thanks What a great idea !!!!!
AWESOME~~~~ Thank you so very much! Many Many Blessings to u!
Is everyone getting a text msg back confirming that your signed up? I never received one.
said i need a twitter account….
So far all I’m getting is that I need a twitter account ;( will wait and see
does it cost anything to do this?
Nope! =) It’s free, but standard text messaging rates do apply. It seems like most people have unlimited texting these days so then it wouldn’t cost a thing.
I signed up on my BB and it went through right away. I already got a “HOT” deal
Thanks!!
I don’t do it cuz I don’t have unlimited texts.
i did the text and it said welcome to twitter reply w/ sign up to begin? does that mean i will receive them now since you stated we did not need twitter?
I’m wondering the same. I got the text but do I need to do the “sign up” thing? Tha
nks!
What do I do now? Got the reply saying “welcome to twitter. Follow people for great content. Already on Twitter? Reply with Yes to sign in.
So, will I automatically get the hot deal updates or what? I’m really confused. I dno’t want a twitter.
I got the same reply mssg too!! They need to fix this problem…
i didn’t get my text alert i guess i do need twitter, =(
Mine seems to be working just fine! Ty!!
that was easy. Got it within seconds. Using G2 android. Missed the cleaner but I get it at the Dollar Tree here for $1.
never got a text back its been almost 2 weeks
Hi, I signed up for the the text but it did say I need a twitter account?
Yay! Thanks, now I don’t have to worry about missing out
tried to send message it came back saying that they had no one by that name and asked if i spelled it right. did it again same thing? not sure what i am doing wrong.
I have signed up twice – I get the reply message along with the most recent messages but then I never get the new ones . . anyone else have this problem??
same thing; got messages the first and second day and then nothing since.
got an instant response saying “welcome to twitter! reply w/ signup to begin. Already on twitter? Reply with your username.”
do i need to respond to any of this? i’m not on twitter and don’t want to sign up for it. if i just don’t reply, do i still get the texts?
I keep signing up and get it once – right after I sign up. Then I never get it again. Maybe I should sign up for a Twitter account?
That’s what happens with me . . .
I just signed up for a Twitter account. I’m going to see if it works for me now.
It said I need a twitter accountant grrrr
Yesterday I didn’t receive a text for the Gillette Razor. Did you announce via text? If so: in order for me to receive text again. Do I need to send another text to 40404?
Got it! Thanks!!!
Yea, you do need Twitter. Basically, what you are doing is following them on Twitter and receiving the tweets via text message. Easy to set up a Twitter account tho- and if RHC are the only ones you follow, you won’t be loaded down with spam. It’s a great thing!! Thanks so much guys!!
Thank you!!
I am now following RainingCoupon
YAY!! lol
Awesome Thrisa!! =)
I have tried many times….still says I need a twitter account.
I got my text within a couple of seconds but I do have a twitter, doesn’t everyone, lol
I got my first day of texts and then none since. Does any one else have this problem?
Yeah!! I am now following Raining Hot Coupons=) Cant wait to receive the hottest deal alerts!
I signed up for this a few days ago and I got the confirmation msg but haven’t gotten any further txt alerts. . .what’s up w/ that? lol Oh well, trying again. . .
I’ve signed up! Looks like it’s working.
Along with several other people on this thread, I’m wondering why we get texts the first day or two and then never again? Can we get an answer? Does anyone else consistently get texts after signing up once?
Hello,
thanks…
Unfortunately I need to know how to stop the text messages. Had to change my text package and don’t have as many to spare.
You should only have to Text “STOP” to get off the list
Yea I am already
Signed up and I am getting an error message too…:(
Text me
Hi! Everytime I do this, I will receive alerts for a few days, but then they will stop coming and I will have to re text. Any idea why this happens?
I signed up but never got a confirmation or anything.
I don’t understand why it says that you don’t need a Twitter account, if you do??? AND I also don’t understand why noone will answer our questions??? I just read through all the comments, and there are some that date back to Feb. and they have yet to be answered…
I just signed up and got my first alert right away not sure why your having an issue maybe your doing it wrong?
I just signed up, got my confirmation text right away, and also within the first minute got my first deal alert. Don’t understand why it’s not working for you guys??? Worked great for me!!!
I just signed up as well and it worked and I received my confirmation already as well.
I’ve been receiving msg’s for a while now but I need to cancel because I don’t get the msg’s till the end of my work day so it doesn’t do me good then. Sadly, I need to cancel.
I tried to cancel by sending a text: stop rainingcoupon to 40404. Is that right? If not, please let me know how to cancel. Thanks! Of course, I still enjoy reading your site on the web! One of my fav’s.
I got a message saying they can’t find that person. I spelled it exactly how it said.:(
It said I had to have a Twitter account which I already had. When I texted my twitter info back it said it’s been a while, let’s start over, create a new account. I don’t want to create a new Twitter account. Help! Is there suppose to be quotes around “Raining HotCoupons” and is there suppose to be a space between
oops, between ‘Hot’ & ‘Coupon’ because your info didn’t have a space.
No quotes and no hot, just…….. Follow RainingCoupon (no space between raining & coupon). Hope that helps!
Also have to make sure to capitalize the “c” in Coupon and no space either.
Wrong, yep it is definitely Raining Hotcoupon, exactly as spelled. I had to resign up with Twitter, but I don’t care as I hadn’t used it before anyway.. So I resigned up with a new twitter account name, submitted it and sent words Raining Hotcoupon and now nothing, but at least no error messages etc.
I tried to sign up for the text deals and it told me “Hi there, you were signing up for Twitter, but it’s been a while since we heard from you, so let’s start over. reply w/signup or username to begin
I will try and sign up and hope that I don’t get an error message too.
How do I stop the raininghot text messages?
I did it wrong the first time and got the Twitter message too. You have to type it in exactly like this:
Follow RainingCoupon
I did that again and got a confirmation right away.
Yay!!! I don’t always get updates from fb, now I’ll get everything again…thank you..I got confirmation right away
I messed up so many times I at first put the “s” at the end of coupon, then I finally got it because I wasn’t putting a space after “Follow”! I entered Follow RainingCoupon And finally was correct! You need to turn on and activate text notifications in your twitter account first! If you haven’t used this function in awhile they make you turn it on and activate it all over again which I had to do! So after you do that all again then type who you want to follow even if you tried before re-activating it! then it should work! If not idk ask twitter why!? Lol
PLEASE UNSUBSCRIBE ME FROM TXT MESSAGES. I AM VERY TIRED OF RECEIVING THEM. I CANNOT FIND HOW TO DO THIS
Please please stop sending txt messages for raining hot coupons
YAY !!
I have tried this twice and still no text reply. I have a twitter account so I am not sure what the hold up is. All this did was tweet the text. Please notify us if this issue is ever resolved.
OMG !!! I love this! Thank you
PLEASE UNSUBSCRIBE ME FROM TXT MESSAGES OR TELL ME HOW TO…
I am in!
Wow signed up and got a hot deal 2 seconds later!
just signed up!!! so excited!!!!!
Just signed up and will being waiting for HOT deals. Thank you for providing this service! It will be so much better getting the HOT deals right away instead of finding them too late on FB and everything being sold out. RHC ROCKS!!
Do I need a twitter account? Confused here! lol
All those asking to cancel the text deal alerts, here’s how -Send OFF @rainingcoupon to stop receiving messages
Just in case you need it when I get picked for the Csrhart shirt.
one word? or “Follow RainingCoupon”?
Have sent the text twice, still waiting for a reply.
I have unlimited texting but i got a message that said “This may result in charges on your phone bill”
