Get info anywhere you have signal — no data needed.
Backcountry ridge, desert two-track, satellite-only valley: if your phone can send a text, OSMS can get you a weather forecast. No bars of data required — not to ask, and not to read the answer.
How it works
- Text your GPS coordinates (for example
44.2619,-71.3036) to our number. - We reply with one SMS containing a single link. The link itself carries all the data.
- Open it offline. With OSMS installed, the link opens and renders with zero connectivity. In any browser (once you're back on data), the same link shows the same forecast.
The reply link works over fringe 2G coverage and satellite messaging (T-Mobile T-Satellite, Apple Messages via satellite) because reading it never requires a download — the data is in the link itself.
Get info anywhere you have signal — no data needed.
Text your question and GPS coordinates to +1-877-516-6767 and we'll reply with a link that opens offline in OSMS.
By texting us, you agree to receive one automated reply per request from OSMS. Message frequency varies with your usage. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to cancel.
What you get back
A 48-hour point forecast for your exact coordinates: temperature, precipitation chance, wind speed and direction, and sky conditions in 6-hour steps — compact enough to fit in a single text message.
