SMS Consent – Call to Action Verification

This page is provided so campaign reviewers can verify how end users consent to receive SMS from Hotelia.

1. Primary method: Web-based consent at signup

During account registration, users must complete the signup form at https://hotelia.us/signup. The form includes:

Phone number (required for account creation)
Required consent checkbox that explicitly states:
- They consent to receive SMS messages from Hotelia
- Types of messages: event invitations, reminders, account notifications
- Message frequency varies
- Message and data rates may apply
- How to opt-out: reply STOP
- Link to this SMS consent page and to Privacy Policy and Terms of Service
Agreement to Terms of Service and Privacy Policy (linked in the form)

The consent checkbox cannot be bypassed; users must check it to create an account. Consent is stored in our database with a timestamp (smsConsent: true, smsConsentDate).

Exact consent language on signup (required checkbox):

“I consent to receive SMS messages from Hotelia, including event invitations, reminders, and account notifications. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt-out at any time. [Learn more]. By checking this box, you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.”

2. Secondary method: SMS keyword opt-in

Users may also opt-in by texting START, JOIN, or YES to our SMS number. They receive: “You have been subscribed to Hotelia SMS messages. You will now receive event invitations and notifications. Reply STOP to opt out at any time. Message and data rates may apply.” Opt-in is recorded with a timestamp.

3. Opt-out and help

Users can opt-out by replying STOP, STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, QUIT, END, CANCEL, REVOKE, or OPTOUT to any message, or by updating preferences in account settings. Help: reply HELP or INFO.
