About our text service

Text messages sent to 07786 209 888 are charged at standard network rates. If you require information on these rates, please contact your service provider.

Please note that we can only process text messages and issue replies from Monday to Friday during normal business hours.

We can forward messages to named MSPs. However, any further action, such as issuing a reply, will be a matter for that MSP. If you are contacting an MSP, please include your name and postcode with your message.

If you have any comments or questions about the services we offer by SMS, please contact our Public Information Service.
