Phone your mail centre on a tuesday and ask for them to put your name on the availability list for whatever shift you want and you might find you start getting the texts...they won't call unless they're seriously desperate...so many people at our centre moan they don't get calls/texts but never put their names down on the availability lists :d'oh! :arrrghhh

Google would be your best bet...just ask for staff resourcing.
