| 2 days ago | comment | added | Henry | @Jen My reading is that the only explicit provision of the TCPA as amended relating to "text messages" or SMS is about caller identification. Its other provisions on messages look as if they might be interpreted as being restricted to pre-recorded voice messages or faxes, or might be interpreted more broadly. So sending text messages despite explicit non-consent might not be a violation. | |
| 2 days ago | comment | added | Jen♦ | That uncertainty relates to the interplay between unsolicited calls and the Do Not Call registry. This question though is about the unambiguous "STOP" sent to the sender, which everyone agrees is an avenue for indicating non-consent to future unsolicited text messages. | |
