Sending and receiving

The text message notification feature is an automated service for USPS careers account members, intended ONLY to notify you about updates to your job applications or your account. The SMS number from which you receive any text messages will not respond to any text messages and is not intended for receiving commands. It is not monitored for incoming messages and will not act upon any requests that may be sent to this number.
