Estimancer sends text messages in two situations, and requires an explicit, affirmative opt-in checkbox before either one is possible. This page documents both consent checkpoints as they actually appear in the product.

1. A contractor's own number (account verification)

When a contractor adds or verifies their own mobile number, they must check a consent box before a code is sent. Screenshot of this step, taken directly from the live app at /signup/add-phone:

2. Texting an estimate link to a contractor's client

A contractor's clients (homeowners requesting an estimate) are never texted without the contractor first attesting, at the moment of sending, that the client agreed to receive it. Screenshot of the "Send to Client" dialog, taken directly from the live app, with that checkbox checked and the Text Message option enabled as a result:

This confirmation is required on every send, in addition to (and independent of) the consent record a contractor can optionally save to a client's profile in advance.
