Opt-in method 1 — Consumer texts us first
(516) 530-8840 is published throughout skipvoicemail.com and its linked pages as a number you can both call and text. The consumer initiates by texting START (or any message) to that number, including via dedicated sms: taps on the homepage (header "or text START", hero "Text START to (516) 530-8840", and the footer disclosure itself). The primary on-page action remains tap-to-call. The SMS consent disclosure below is a persistent notice in the homepage footer, with links to the Privacy Policy and Terms adjacent to it:

"By texting START to (516) 530-8840 you agree to receive text messages from SkipVoicemail about your inquiry. Consent is not a condition of purchase. Message frequency varies; message & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help or STOP to cancel at any time." [Privacy Policy] · [Terms]
"SkipVoicemail: You're opted in! We'll reply here about your questions and requests. Msg&data rates may apply, msg frequency varies. Reply HELP for help, STOP to opt out."
Opt-in method 2 — Verbal consent during a call the consumer places to us
The consumer initiates by calling (516) 530-8840. If the caller asks for something deliverable by text (information they requested or a sign-up/payment link), our receptionist asks for consent on that call before anything is sent:
"Can I text that to you from SkipVoicemail at this number? You'd get a couple of messages about this request only — message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. You can reply STOP any time to opt out, or HELP for help. Our privacy policy is at skipvoicemail dot com slash privacy and our terms are at skipvoicemail dot com slash terms."
- A message is sent only after the caller clearly answers yes and confirms the mobile number to use.
- Callers who decline receive no messages.
- Consent is collected per conversation and applies only to the caller's own inquiry.
Message content
Every message identifies the SkipVoicemail brand and relates to the consumer's own inquiry: requested information, requested sign-up/payment links, and service status updates. Typical volume is 1–4 messages per conversation. Sample messages match those registered with the campaign.
Opt-out and help handling
- STOP (also CANCEL, QUIT, UNSUBSCRIBE, END, OPTOUT, STOPALL, REVOKE) immediately unsubscribes: "You have successfully been unsubscribed. You will not receive any more messages from this number. Reply START to resubscribe."
- HELP / INFO returns: "Reply STOP to unsubscribe. Msg&Data Rates May Apply." Support: (516) 530-8840 or billy@skipvoicemail.com.
Data handling
Consent is optional and never a condition of purchase. No mobile information or opt-in data is shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Full policy: skipvoicemail.com/privacy.
