    •    STATUS for an outage update. 
    •    HELP for more information. 
    •    STOP to opt out of Outage Alerts.

Please make sure we have your current phone number on file. When you call from the phone number tied to your account, we can more quickly locate the area where power is out and restore your power. That means it is important that you keep your account information updated with your most current phone number.

Here are three ways to update your contact information:

  1. Log in at bluebonnet.coop, go to the Notifications tab, then Manage Contacts and click the “Add Phone Contact" button.
  2. Log in to the MyBluebonnet mobile app, go to More, Settings, then Contact Methods
  3. Call 800-842-7708 to speak with a member service representative between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
