SMS Consent

Last updated October 25, 2026

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:

Estimancer's Add your phone number screen, showing a required checkbox reading: I agree to receive text messages from Estimancer at this number with the verification codes I request, one text per code. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. See our Terms and Privacy Policy. A second required checkbox below it reads: I agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The Send verification code button is disabled until both boxes are checked.

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:

Estimancer’s Send to Client dialog, showing a required checkbox reading: I confirm [client name] has agreed to receive a text message from me about this estimate. The Text Message send option is disabled until this box is checked.

This confirmation is the sole consent checkpoint for texting a client, required on every send, there is no separate way to pre-record a client’s consent elsewhere in the product.
