SMS terms

How our text messaging programs work, what you agree to when you opt in, and how to stop at any time.

Effective October 30, 2026

1. Stop and help

Every TabulaSMS program responds to these keywords at any time. They are not case-sensitive.

STOP
Ends all messages from that program. Also works with END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, QUIT and STOPALL. You will receive one message confirming you are unsubscribed, and nothing further.
HELP
Sends a reply with the program name, how to get support and how to opt out. Also works with INFO.
START
Re-subscribes you after you have opted out. Also works with UNSTOP.

To rejoin a program after opting out, text START to the same number, or sign up again the way you did the first time.

2. Programs

Each service is its own messaging program. Some share a sending number and some have their own, and the program name appears in its messages and in its HELP reply.

  • SMSPilot: flight search results and follow-up details in reply to your searches.
  • AnnounceMe: one-way announcements from the admins of groups you have joined.
  • MVC Watch: alerts when a matching appointment opening is found, and booking confirmations.
  • Remote Start: confirmations of the vehicle commands you send.
  • WhatsApp Bridge: messages relayed from the WhatsApp groups you connect, and delivery confirmations for your replies.
  • Texting: person-to-person messages on the line provided to you.
  • Yankel: answers, and audio replies when you ask for them, in response to your questions.
  • Payment Alerts: a text to each staff number the business has added, when a payment confirmation arrives.
  • Custom solutions: messages from the organization that runs the program, as described when you opted in.

3. Consent

You opt in to a program by texting it first, by replying to confirm, or by giving permission through a form or an organization that names the program. By opting in you confirm that you are the subscriber or authorized user of the number. Consent to receive messages is never a condition of any purchase.

Group admins and organizations may only add people who have agreed to receive their messages, under our acceptable use policy.

4. Frequency and rates

Message frequency varies by program and by how you use it. Most of our programs reply only when you text them. Alert programs such as MVC Watch send messages when there is something to report, and announcement programs send whenever a group admin posts.

Message and data rates may apply. TabulaSMS does not charge for receiving messages, but your mobile carrier may, according to your plan. If you have questions about your plan, contact your carrier.

5. Carriers

Our programs are supported on all major US carriers, including AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile, as well as most regional and prepaid carriers. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery can be affected by your coverage, your device and network conditions outside our control.

6. Privacy

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties. Read the full privacy policy.

7. Contact

For help with any program, reply HELP to its messages or email support@tabulasms.com. These SMS terms form part of our terms of service.
