In each path, the customer voluntarily chooses whether to text the number. The act of texting the number constitutes the customer's consent to receive a single SMS reply from VesselBot.ai on the agency's behalf. No outbound or unsolicited SMS is ever sent to a customer who has not texted first.Required disclosuresMessage frequency
