  • What is My Communications?

    • My Communications is a notification service that enables NJNG customers to receive service and payment alerts via text. *Please note that standard message and data rates may apply through your cell phone carrier.

  • What type of alerts can I receive?

    • Once registered, you can choose from the following billing and service alerts:

      • Payment Reminder - Your bill is due in five days
      • Payment Posted - A payment posted to your account
      • Late Payment Reminder - Your bill is five days past due
      • Changes to Budget Amount - Your monthly Budget Plan payment amount has changed

      • Seasonal Turn On/Turn Off Reminder - Receive a reminder to turn on or off your natural gas service at your seasonal premise 
      • Temporary Service Interruption - We temporarily turned off your service for safety or other system-related reasons. Please note this does not include unforeseen system interruptions.
  • How do I register for My Communications?

    • Login to My Account and select "My Communications" from the left navigation menu. On that page, you will find:

      • Manage My Contacts where you can designate up to three mobile numbers to receive text alerts.
      • Manage My Communications where you can select your preferred account alerts and assign mobile numbers for these alerts. Be sure to select the account you wish to manage if you have multiple accounts. 

      Immediately after you register for My Communications and enroll to receive alert notifications, you will receive a confirmation request to help prevent problems with undeliverable and/or unsolicited messages. If you do not respond within 24 hours, your enrollment request will be canceled and you will have to start the process from the beginning.

  • How do I opt out of receiving alerts?

    • You can opt out of receiving alerts in a number of ways:

      Through My Account

      The account holder can log in to My Account and select "My Communications" from the left navigation menu. Click on “Manage My Communications” and for each alert from which you would like to unsubscribe, uncheck the box next to the mobile number. If you would like to unsubscribe all contacts from a particular alert, click on “Unsubscribe all contacts from this alert” at the bottom of the alert box.

      Through SMS Text Messages

      From the phone you wish to opt out of receiving either a single alert or all alerts, text the corresponding code below to 80399.


      Payment Reminder - STOPPR

      Late Payment Reminder - STOPLP

      Payment Posted - STOPPP

      Appointment Reminder - STOPAR

      Change to Budget Amount - STOPBC

      Temporary Service Interruptions - STOPSI

      Season Turn On/Turn Off Reminder - STOPST

      Stop all alerts - STOP

      If you would like to opt out of receiving some, but not all, alerts, you must send a text message for each alert from which you want to opt out. You cannot opt out of multiple alerts in one text message unless you are opting out of all alerts.

      For example, if you are subscribed to Payment Reminder, Payment Posted and Change to Budget Amount, and wish to unsubscribe from both Payment Reminder and Change to Budget Amount, you need to send two separate texts. Text STOPPR to 80399 to stop receiving payment reminders and text STOPBC to unsubscribe from receiving alerts indicating there was a change to your budget amount.
