Valid SMS consent = clear disclosure of what they’re opting in to + an affirmative action (tick box, reply Y, form submission).
Minimum disclosure
- Who is sending (your business name).
- What messages they’ll receive ("appointment reminders and occasional offers").
- Frequency ("up to 4 msgs/month").
- "Msg & data rates may apply."
- "Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help."
Store the evidence
