Who it's for
This service is available to all residents. If you live in the country and use mobile messaging services, you are eligible to subscribe to these updates to stay connected with official communications.
What you get
By subscribing, you receive verified news and official government announcements. This ensures that the information reaching your phone has been vetted by the relevant authorities, helping you distinguish official updates from unverified rumors or unofficial news sources. The updates are sent through widely used messaging platforms to make accessing information quick and easy.
What it costs you
