The StormNow service is the newest version of StormWarn, by
DataSwitch Information Services. If you currently have a
StormWarn account, you'll find that StormNow allows you all the
features of StormWarn, plus the ability to send one profile to
multiple delivery options. All the other great features still
remain, including:
- Unlimited delivery options - Create as many email, pager, fax,
or PCS phone deliveries as you wish.
- Unlimited profiles - Set up your profiles to include as many
bulletins as you wish and deliver them to any delivery option!
- Unlimited profile-to-delivery control - You can attach a
profile to any number of delivery options. Now, you'll be able
to send that Local Storm Report to three different deliveries
without duplicating the profile. Or, create multiple profiles
and deliver them all to your pager.
- Control when your profiles are active - You can tell StormNow
when to automatically deactivate your profile. Have a profile
that sends zone forecasts to your pager? Shut it off at night so
you're not disturbed! It's easy to configure when your profile
is active or inactive... right down to the hour and day of the
week.
- Up to fifty counties per account - You may reference up to
fifty different counties across all your profiles. If you have a
need for more than this, check out our StormNow Plus service, as
it was designed for you!
- Complete web-based control of your account - With internet
access, there's never a need to have to call customer service to
have your account configured. Everything can be done online at
www.stormnow.com.
- Customer-oriented support staff - Our well-trained StormNow
support staff can handle any technical problems you have with our
service. Sometimes pager or PCS phone deliveries can be tricky
to get set up. Give us a call, we'll be glad to help you however
we can.
With StormNow, you may create an unlimited number of delivery
options and profiles. Billing is based on delivery options,
according to this price structure:
- Email ($2.00 flat rate per month) each
- SNPP/WCTP Pager ($6.00 flat rate per month) each
- TAP Pager ($6.00 per month + 8¢ per bulletin)* each
- PCS/GSM Phone ($6.00 per month + 8¢ per bulletin)* each
- Business Fax ($10.00 per month + 20¢ per bulletin) each
Like the StormNow Lite and StormNow Plus service options, you'll
have a two-week period to test out StormNow**. If you decide to
keep the service after that time, you will need to make a
payment.
*If you supply us with a toll-free TAP number (800, 888, 877,
866, or 855), you will never be charged more than a total of
$12/month per Pager/PCS Phone delivery option ($6 base charge
plus $6 for per-bulletin charges).
**Direct pages and faxes are limited to 50 bulletins during the
trial period.
