There are no additional fees or add-ons and your satisfaction with our notification service is guaranteed.

  • There is no charge for initial mapping or any future service territory updates.

  • Members can view and update their GeoCall service territory online from the convenience of their office with Member Service Area Management (MSAM).

  • Texas811 updates GeoCall with Tele Atlas digital mapping at least every 6 months or as necessary to address geographic locations experiencing rapid growth.

  • There is no additional charge for re-sent tickets or for “voice-outs” in conjunction with emergency and dig-up notifications.

  • All excavators can enter locate requests on-line with GeoRemote which reduces time and increases efficiency, especially when mapping the requested area. Members benefit from GeoRemote due to reduced operating costs associated with the GeoCall interface.
