SMS Opt-In Disclosure

How fans and creators opt in to Pitch SMS

This page documents the consent flow on pitchsms.com for carrier review and A2P 10DLC verification. It is publicly accessible and contains no login or paywall.

1. Where opt-in is collected

Pitch collects SMS consent through a web-form opt-in: a clearly labeled, unchecked checkbox embedded in the signup form on pitchsms.com. The same checkbox pattern is used on both the fan signup form and the creator signup form. The user must affirmatively check the box before any SMS is sent — the box is never pre-selected and consent is not bundled with any other agreement.

2. What the user sees

The block below is a faithful reproduction of the consent UI as it appears on the live signup form:

4. Sample messages users will receive

Pitch only sends SMS that the recipient has consented to receive. There are no marketing or promotional messages, no automated billing receipts after every charge (those live in the Pitch app), and creators cannot initiate texts to fans — they can only reply to fans who have texted them first.

Verification (sent to fan and creator at signup, once) Pitch: Your verification code is 472193. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Msg & data rates may apply.
Creator reply to fan (the fan texted first) [Creator's reply text appears here, sent through the creator's Pitch number to the fan who initiated the conversation. The fan only receives this because they texted the creator first through the platform.]
Account-security alert (rare; only on suspicious login or password change) Pitch: A new sign-in to your account was detected. If this wasn't you, change your password at pitchsms.com. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.
STOP confirmation (auto-reply) You are unsubscribed from Pitch. No more messages will be sent. Reply START to resubscribe.
HELP auto-reply Pitch: Paid SMS platform. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out. Support: pitchsms@gmail.com

What lives in the app, not in SMS: billing receipts after each paid message, full message history, creator earnings, weekly payout amounts and dates, fan account balance, creator profile management. Users see all of this when they sign in to pitchsms.com.
