Power Outages
If an outage is detected at your location, we will send you a text message
to let you know. To keep you informed, we’ll send you updates when the
status of the outage changes. And, we’ll send you a text message when the
power has been restored on your street.2
If you experience a power emergency (e.g.,
lines down), always call 1-800-9OUTAGE (1-800-968-8243) to report it.
To report an outage at your location by texting from your registered cell
phone:
Start a new text message in your cell
phone or PDA.
Enter the text-to number 368374, then
press "OK" or enter.
Type "out" (without quotes).
Press "send" (without quotes).
That’s it! The outage at your location has
been reported to Entergy Arkansas. You’ll receive a confirmation text message and
other instructions if needed.
