Phone field without TCPA consent language

Medium

Why it matters

Texting or calling numbers collected without clear consent can cost $500–$1,500 per message under the TCPA.

How to fix it

Add consent text next to the phone field that names the sender, message types and how to opt out.

Risk signal, not legal advice. Talk to a lawyer about your situation.
