How to see who has opted in to text messaging
With short code messaging you will now have fewer restrictions on your messages and should have improved reliability with less chance that a service provider (Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc) blocks your message. However after the initial message gets sent the receiver must opt-in to continue getting text messages. So how do we know what phone number have opted in and which have not responded?
There is a report that will show you who has been invited and if they’ve opted in yet.
- From the My Lists page find the green box or drop down at the top
- The 2nd to last option is Reports, select that option
- The reports section opens and there is now a new report available called * Texting Opt Ins *, select that
- In this report you’ll see all the phone numbers and their current status.
- Not Textable indicates a landline that can not receive text messages
- Opt-Out indicates that the invite has been sent and no response has been received
- Opt-In indicates the phone number has positively opted in
- The response column will show what was received from that phone number to generate the current status.
