In an e-mail to supporters, Obama's campaign manager said voters can sign up to receive an e-mail or a text message "the moment" he makes his decision.
"No other campaign has done this before," campaign manager David Plouffe said in the e-mail. "You can be part of this important moment."
Those who sign up will also receive other periodic text message updates from the campaign, and will be charged standard messaging rates.
