Southwest Text Alerts question

[ajpa]

Hi!
If you've ever signed up for Flight Status text alerts from Southwest (1 hour before) - around how many texts do you typically get?

I pay per text msg so I just wanted to be prepared.

Thanks!

My flight last month was delayed about 3 hours so I got several texts revising the time. My flight to Orlando was ontime and I don't remember getting any texts.

In the past I have only received alerts if there was a time change. On longer delays that can be several texts as the update the times frequently. On time service I generally don't receive anything.

Awesome.

The time for our flight home on Southwest changed several times, and we got maybe 5-6 text messages.
