SMS Alert System Information

The SMS Alert System is a supplement to our email emergency message system. This system will send emergency messages from the Consular Section directly to your mobile phone via a SMS text message. Each text message will contain a brief description of the urgent message and prompt subscribers to check their email for more details or the Embassy’s webpage for more detailed information.

Enrollment in the SMS Alert System is optional and free. In order to enroll, simply email the Consular Section your mobile phone number at acsbamako@state.gov using the subject line “Add Me to SMS.”

At any point, you can choose to leave the SMS Alert System. All you need to do is send an email to acsbamako@state.gov with the subject line “Remove Me from SMS.”
