B-Alert text system moving to new address

Biloxi’s B-Alert texting system, where more than 10,000 people currently receive traffic advisories from the city, is moving to a new address.

Users of the free service must sign up by texting ‘Biloxi’ to 99411 to continue to receive alerts.

The new address will replace the city’s 888-777 number which had been used for three years. The move will take place Monday.

It is being prompted by COVID-19 which dramatically increased the cost of text messages from the city’s existing provider.

To continue receiving traffic alerts text ‘BILOXI’ to 99411.
