What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
Unlike the CAN-SPAM Act's opt-out model for ordinary commercial email, this Federal Communications Commission rule requires opt-in consent before sending a commercial message to an address that resolves to a domain the Commission has listed as a wireless carrier's messaging gateway.
The sender must have the addressee's express prior authorization, obtainable in writing (including electronically) or orally, naming the sender and the address to be messaged, and must stop sending further messages within 10 days of a request to stop.
