SMS Opt-In & Consent
How staff members consent to receive visitor-alert text messages.
Ring Ring Please uses a business-initiated SMS double opt-in. There is one opt-in method — there is no public self-signup, no opt-in keyword advertised to consumers, and the QR code at the door is used by visitors to ring, never by staff to opt in. A staff member receives messages only after they reply YES from their own phone.

1. The business owner adds a staff contact
A paying business owner signs in to their authenticated Ring Ring Please dashboard and adds a staff member's name and mobile number, confirming they have that person's permission. This is the only place a number is entered.

2. The staff member receives a one-time consent SMS
The number is added as pending and Ring Ring Please sends a single consent request. No alerts or other messages are sent before the YES reply:

3. The staff member replies YES to opt in
Opt-in only happens when the staff member replies YES from their own phone. They immediately receive a confirmation:

4. Opt out anytime
The staff member can reply STOP at any time to stop all messages, or HELP for help. Message frequency varies and message and data rates may apply.
