H1N1 Flu Mobile Texting Pilot

Sign up now to have important CDC information about H1N1 flu and other topics delivered directly to your mobile phone! In September 2009, CDC launched a three-month text messaging campaign pilot to share important, timely health information directly to users.

To subscribe to the pilot, text HEALTH to 87000. Subscribers can expect to receive about three health messages a week during the three-month pilot. Standard text messaging rates will apply.

For more information about the pilot, visit: http://www.cdc.gov/mobile.

Other Text Messaging Projects at CDC

CDC offers important health information via text message for a number of topics, including the signs of MRSA skin infections, HIV testing locations, and emergency messages. For example, users can text their zip code to "KnowIt" (566948) and, within seconds, receive a text message identifying an HIV testing site near them. Users who do not have cell phones or prefer to use the Web can access the online testing database at HIVtest.org to find testing centers.
