Personal Assistant

A private SMS assistant operated by Preston Collins for his own use.

Personal Assistant is a personal text-message service. Its owner, Preston Collins, texts questions to the assistant's phone number and receives replies. The assistant also texts him alerts about his own work tickets, reminders and calendar notices.

Who receives messages

Only the account owner. The service talks to a single phone number, the owner's own mobile number. It does not send messages to anyone else, does not accept sign-ups from the public, and sends no marketing.

How to opt in

The owner turns the service on by texting JOIN to (470) 243-9411 from his mobile phone. The service replies with the program disclosures and asks him to confirm. Nothing else is sent until he replies Y.
