I have been missing espn alerts for the last year and today i just randomly went to the espn site to see if sprint was now a valid subscriber of espn alerts and to my surprise they were listed as a subscriber. So what I had to do to get it up and running was I chatted with a sprint service rep through there chatting tool on their website. I asked the rep if espn text alerts were being blocked ? He went to research and told me to turn off my phone for 15 mins and it should work. After restarting my phone and then registering on the espn site i started to receive text alerts again!!!
