Walsall residents receive third txt in the Christmas health game

Hundreds of Walsall residents who have signed up for their free txt 64446 Health messages will receive their third txt message today for their chance to win an iPod nano. Walsall Teaching Primary Care Trust (Walsall tPCT) is running a Christmas game by phone txt where members of the public can win an iPod if they guess the common word in each message they receive. The message ‘Think about how much money you will save if you turn your ash into cash this year. Make it your resolution to quit. Call 0800 169 9346,’ will be appearing on phones across the borough on 27 December. 

Paul Jennings, Chief Executive for Walsall tPCT, said: “Smoking does not only affect people’s health it also has a huge impact on their finances. This is as good a time as any to quit smoking with the festive season and New Year resolutions coming up.”

To play Walsall residents should text the word ‘Health’ to 64446 from any mobile phone. The cost will be their standard txt charge, and there will be no further charge to receive the txt messages. During the first week in January, anyone who sends back that word will be entered into a draw to win an iPod nano.

People signed up to 64446 Health will continue to receive a monthly message but can text ‘Finish’ at any time if they want to stop. People who want to continue to receive the monthly messages but don’t want to take part in the Christmas game can text no iPod to opt out. The Txt 64446 Health campaign is in association with Walsall Football Club.
