Texting requires permission from the intended recipient to ensure compliance with federal and industry regulations. Sending unwanted texts can result in the sending phone number being blocked by carriers. All legal responsibilities related to texting are the sole responsibility of the organization.
Opting-In Staff
A Jackrabbit user with texting permissions has the option of opting-in all staff at one time or opting-in each staff member individually.
