Gwacheon City Launches 'Text Message Alert Service' Starting January 1st

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Yu Je-seong] Starting January 1st, Gwacheon City will launch a new ‘text message alert service’ that provides major city news via text message to residents.

The service is designed to enable citizens to access necessary information more easily and quickly. In addition to its existing social media (SNS)-based information delivery system, the city has added text message notifications so that residents can check city news directly without conducting separate searches.

Key content sent via text messages includes various welfare benefits, cultural programs, performances, festivals, events, education, and emergency disaster information that can enhance citizens' quality of life.

In particular, clicking the shortcut links (URLs) included in text messages connects users directly to web pages with detailed information, improving accessibility and convenience.

Citizens can subscribe to or unsubscribe from the text message alert service anytime through the Gwacheon City website.

A city official stated, “Through the text message alert service, we will strengthen communication by ensuring timely delivery of diverse city news to residents.”
