The Alaska Court System is now offering automatic reminders by text message for people with upcoming court hearings, part of an effort to reduce the number of missed appearances.
The court system announced the service Wednesday. State courts already offer automatic text notifications for jury duty and upcoming criminal cases.
To sign up for the new service, text a case number to (575) 222-8484. The system will ask for a confirmation. Reply yes. Reminders go out at 4 p.m. the day before the hearing.
People who receive notifications do not need to be part of the case, and there is no limit to the number of signups per phone number.
The court system, which operates the service, will not sell your phone number to a third party, and it will not share it, the court system says in its terms and conditions.

Late on Thursday, September 17, Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi shared this Instagram photo.
We see both of their adult hands, the hands of their first daughter — who is a toddler, at this point — and the tiny hand of Baby #2.
“Hi little guy,” the proud parents penned in the sweet caption.
It is possible that “little guy” is intended as a gender reveal.
However, both parents take the privacy of their kids very seriously. That is a good thing — even if it means leaving us all with questions.
In August 2025, MBB, who is now 22, and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, who is now 24, announced that they had adopted their first daughter.
Some have questioned the wisdom of becoming parents at such an early age.
(To be honest, many have questioned the wisdom of anyone becoming married at such an early age.)
However, we’d point out that their babies would be growing up regardless. If MBB and Bongiovi can give their kids a good childhood and a good life, that’s wonderful.
It is encouraging to see how well they are looking after their children’s privacy rather than farming them for “content.”
