I figure this is a bug, but I didn't find any mention of it in the "definitive bug" thread.

Is anyone getting these alerts these days?
Well, after more than 8 months without receiving any of these automated alerts, I finally got desperate and went to the delta.com screen where one enters the desired email addresses and phone numbers for the alerts (the "Delta Messenger Flight Notifications" alerts). On that screen, I clicked the dropdown list for one of the email addresses, didn't change it, and then "saved" the changes. Did this for all three of the regular alerts.

Lo and behold, today I received both a phone call and email messages for a delayed flight! I don't know if what I did fixed the problem (reactivated my alerts?), but I'll take coincidence otherwise so long as the problem remains fixed.

I haven't received them since they switched over from nwa.com, even having changed the settings a couple times.

Also, on delta.dumb where it says "please update you contact info" I click on that and it's populated with a random number, I'll update it, it says thanks, but when I go back the next day it's back to some random number.

Eh, I don't get them. But now with the app I seem to get plenty of alerts.
