Entergy has introduced a new service that allows customers to receive text messages when there’s a power outage at their home or business. “My Account Anywhere” allows customers to send and receive information about outages on their cell phones, including how long electricity is projected to be out. The service is free, although some customers might be charged for receiving a text message, based on their wireless plan. One warning, Entergy says “My Account Anywhere” is designed to provide information about routine outages in normal weather conditions. In the case of a severe storm, like Hurricane Gustav, it may take several days to get text messages about how long electric service may be disrupted. To get the sign-up process started, text “reg” to 368374.
