You will be sent messages from what are know as short codes. The messages will come from either 226787, 67283, 78015 or 77295. We encourage you to save these numbers into your phone so you will recognize them when messages are sent. Some smaller carriers do not support short code messaging. For these carriers, you will receive messages from @getrave.com.
