What does SMS Opt-Out mean?

SMS Opt-out is a system that gives customers a process to remove their contact details from a group text, newsletter, or other informative communication tools. Businesses often stay in contact with their customers via SMS text, email, Whatsapp, or via newsletter. The business will provide a means for the customer to remove their contact details from those messages using Opt-Out mobile short code services. The customer can reply STOP to the SMS or send a specific keyword to a free text short code.

Once the business receives the messages, they can then remove the customer from the communication tool so that the customer will stop receiving such messages in the future.
