FAQ

How does wxtxt work?

wxtxt will send you the Environment Canada / NOAA marine forecast via SMS whenever an update is issued. Pause and resume from your dashboard anytime.

How much does it cost?

$10 for a 30-day block. New users get a 4-day free trial, no credit card required. Pay as you go or auto-renew for a continuous feed.

How do I pause my feed?

How do I cancel auto-renew?

Sign in at wxtxt.ca and toggle off Auto-renew under your payment settings. You'll keep the rest of the time you've already paid for; it just won't renew automatically. You can toggle auto-renewal on or off any time.

Can I control my feed via SMS?

Yes, you can reply with these keywords in the feed:
FEEDON / FEEDOFF to toggle your feed
RENEWON / RENEWOFF to toggle auto-renew
HELP for a list of commands.
See the full SMS command list.

Do you make your own forecasts?

No — we relay Environment Canada / NOAA forecasts as they're issued. It's the same forecast you know and love on the VHF WX channels (hence our name!).

Does it work for all marine forecast regions?

Yes. wxtxt covers all Environment Canada marine forecast regions (including Arctic and inland waters) and all NOAA/NWS coastal and Great Lakes marine zones in the US.

Do you send just the regular updates or all updates?

All updates to the forecast are sent, so you get the mid-cycle updates to forecasts and warnings as they're issued.

Does it work with US numbers?

Yes, wxtxt can send updates to both Canadian 🇨🇦 and US 🇺🇸 phone numbers.

How do I pair my satellite communicator (inReach, etc.)?

wxtxt works over satellite messengers too, not just cell service. Sign up with your phone first, then pair the device from your account — see our step-by-step guide to pairing a Garmin inReach.
