Q: I have signed up for GEICO boat insurance text messages. Why am I not receiving any text messages?
A: There could be several reasons you are not receiving our text messages. They include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1) You have text messages enabled on your mobile device, but the use of "short codes" may be blocked by your mobile carrier, or per your request. In order to receive GEICO boat insurance text messages, you must have short codes enabled. "Short codes" are special telephone numbers (usually five to six digits long) that are used to send text messages to/from mobile phones. They're often used for text messaging services. Please contact your mobile carrier to make sure that you are allowed the use of short codes.
(2) Your mobile account is with a carrier that we do not currently support. We support the following U.S. mobile carriers: GeicoMarine.com/sms-carriers.asp.
(3) Your mobile account has been suspended or deactivated. Please contact your mobile carrier to verify the status of your account.
(4) You've switched mobile carriers or you've changed your phone number. When this occurs, we automatically un-enroll your mobile device from the GEICO boat insurance text messaging program.
(5) You do not meet the criteria for receiving the text messages as described above. For example, you pay your bill more than five days before it is due. Therefore, we have no reason to send you a bill due reminder text message five days before your bill due date.
