In the United States, communication over text is highly regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and mobile network operators such as Verizon and T-Mobile. Adhering to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) is crucial when sending text messages for business or marketing purposes. The TCPA mandates obtaining prior express consent, and specifically, prior express written consent for marketing or promotional texts. This consent needs to be clear, unambiguous, and documented.
