The Town of Oneida is pleased to announce the launch of TextMyGov, a simple communication tool that allows residents to receive important updates and access information anywhere using texting technology. This new government SMS service makes it easier than ever for the community to stay informed through a reliable text message from government officials.

The Town will officially launch this mass text notification system on Friday June 12th, 2026 Residents may receive an initial government text message from 91896on behalf of the Town to introduce the service. Participation is optional, and anyone may opt out at any time by texting STOP.

If you do not receive the initial message, you can sign up by texting the keyword “Oneida” to 91896. After sending the keyword, you will be asked to reply YES to confirm participation. Once subscribed, residents may receive government text messages related to events, important updates like office closures, emergency information, and more. If there are specific types of updates you would like to receive, please inform the Mayor’s office.

The Town’s adoption of TextMyGov reflects an ongoing commitment to improving public communication using modern and convenient tools. This service will provide a more accessible and responsive way to stay informed about what is going on in the community and receive government services. Many agencies nationwide are already using this texting technology successfully, and we are proud to offer the same benefits to our community.

Sincerely,
Lori Phillips-Jones
Mayor, Town of Oneida
