🧠 Tips

  • 📲 Still not receiving it? Make sure you entered your correct mobile number during registration or ask the event organizer to re-send the invite.

  • 🔁 You can always request the message be sent again from the Manage Hands section in the app.

  • 📥 Some carriers also offer spam filtering. You may need to check your carrier's app (e.g., AT&T ActiveArmor, Verizon Call Filter).
