The City of Friendsville is thrilled to introduce TextMyGov, a convenient and smart text messaging service! This service will enable residents to receive important notifications effortlessly and easily find specific information by texting the city.
The city will officially launch the new text messaging system to the public on March 27, 2025. Residents may receive a text message from 91896 initiating the service. You can opt out at any time by texting STOP.
If you don’t receive the initial message, you can opt in by texting the keyword “FRIENDSVILLE” to the number 91896. After sending the initial keyword, you will be asked to reply “YES” to confirm the opt-in.
