We offer three options on the office level: 1) to display buyer's agent and office name, 2) office name only or 3) no details at all. If you have questions about your office setup, your office manager can help answer these questions.
- Does it matter what cell phone provider I have?
- Your cell phone provider is your choice. ShowingTime sends a text message to the number provided (and enabled) for text. Some carriers and plans may charge you for a pool of text messages or SMS.
ShowingTime is not responsible for these charges. In addition, your cell phone provider may also experience outages or poor service areas from time to time. - Why should I update my phone's software?
- Due to the evolving nature of devices, we update our app to address the changes in the default phone software. Some of these updates rewrite the way apps work or integrate with the device. Older devices and older versions of the phone software are often unable to handle the newer updates and apps that work on those devices will often become outdated.
ShowingTime Technical Support cannot help you update your device's software.
