Archive for the ‘Opt-Ins’ Category

You may have noticed recently that we’ve changed the way that we allow you to upload a list.  We used to allow customers to load a database from Excel or .csv files so long as they confirmed that it was indeed an opt-in list.

A legitimate opt-in is required for all database uploads on 84444.com

We have had to tighten this policy to ensure that all customers that use the shared short code 84444 are adhering to the Mobile Marketing Association Best Practices in regards to what constitutes a legitimate opt-in.  Now, we must first review the methodology used during your opt-in process to ensure that you’ve met all of the necessary guidelines.

So, the first time that you wish to upload a list, we will need to approve it first.  If you have a consistent track record of low complaints and opt-outs from your lists, we will re-instate the ability for you to upload lists directly on the site.

While this may be a bit inconvenient for you, be assured that this is being done to protect the predominantly legitimate users of our text message marketing service and to discourage those spammers looking for a quick hit or willing to stretch the rules of what constitutes a legitimate opt-in.
