Frequently Asked Questions
 

 

What is an Alert?

An Alert is a notification we send to your e-mail or cell phone when your favorite band (or song) is about to play on the radio.  This usually means that the song will be one of the next few songs to play.

 

What is a Digital Dedication?

A Digital Dedication is when you send an Alert to someone else with a personal message attached.  You pick an upcoming song, tell us who to send it to (their e-mail address or cell phone number/provider) and we send it to them.  Then your friend can tune in and listen while reading your private message!

 

Is there a charge to receive an Alert?  Will my friend get charged to receive their Dedication?

"No - JackFlash is a FREE service from 96.5 JACK-FM and Mother USA (under the brand name Tunefly)."   However, your cell phone provider or your friend’s cell phone provider may charge to receive text messages (check with your wireless provider).  That’s why when you make a Dedication we ask for your friend’s wireless provider.  We figure if you know their provider then they likely aren’t strangers, which helps prevent them from getting tons of Dedications from people they don’t know!

 

I sent a Dedication by the person didn’t receive it, why?

There are a number of reasons why someone might not receive their Dedication.  They may not be looking at their email, or have their cell phone off, or – the phone number/service provider may be incorrect.

 

Why do I need to provide the recipients cell phone provider to make a Dedication?

We want to protect the privacy of everyone using our service.  We don’t want anyone to abuse our service and so to protect the recipients of our Dedications we require that you know their cell phone provider.  We will keep an eye on this – and if this becomes an issue with JackFlash members being able to send Dedications then we may have to come up with something else (we are interested in making it easy to use!).

 

How many Alerts and Dedications can I send every month?

Send to your hearts content!!  Unlimited.  However, please don’t bug someone with millions of Dedications (going to the same person)!

 

Why is this only available on 96.5 JACK FM?

Well, JACK FM is the best station in Seattle!!  JACK FM has one of the largest playlists of any station in the city – which means there are more songs to choose from to get Alerts and to send Dedications!  Plus, there’s a big variety of music – certain to hit most everyone’s tastes.

 

What if I have questions or problems using the service?

That’s easy – just send us an e-mail to support@tunefly.com, or click here to go to our web site!

 

How do you know when my favorite song is going to play?

That’s secret!  Actually, it takes some very special software connecting us directly to the station which watches what is about to play on-air (no, contrary to some people’s opinions we do not have a webcam hidden inside the studio watching what songs JACK decides to play!)….
