Now they are only sent via text message to those signed up for their SMS network, and the codes are all unique so they cannot be shared. If that wasn’t bad enough, things got worse today… It looks like some glitch in the Redbox system has prevented codes from being sent to most subscribers, and those who are receiving text messages, are getting no codes at all, but just a nice blank message. Here is an email I recently got regarding the redbox rentals:
