Texting Compliance: How Divinity Software Helps Businesses Stay Secure and Trusted

Introduction: Why Texting Compliance Is More Important Than Ever

Text messaging is no longer just a personal communication tool—it’s one of the most powerful business channels available. In industries like accounts receivable, finance, and healthcare, SMS provides a fast, direct, and cost-effective way to connect with customers.

But this convenience comes with strict rules. Regulatory frameworks like the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) ensure that text messaging respects consumer rights. Carriers like T-Mobile also enforce their own codes of conduct to protect subscribers.

Violations can cost organizations thousands of dollars per infraction, with some companies facing multimillion-dollar lawsuits. That’s why texting compliance isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s a critical business strategy. And this is where Divinity Software steps in.

What Is Texting Compliance?

Texting compliance refers to following all relevant laws and carrier guidelines when sending SMS to customers. These rules ensure businesses don’t spam, harass, or mislead consumers.

The main texting compliance requirements include:

• Consent (Opt-In Required): Businesses must obtain explicit permission before sending texts.

• Approved Contact Windows: Messages are limited to 8 a.m. – 9 p.m. local time.

• Content Restrictions: Messages must be accurate, professional, and include easy opt-out instructions.

• Carrier Codes of Conduct: Mobile carriers, like T-Mobile, impose additional standards around frequency, transparency, and data privacy.

• Record-keeping: All opt-ins, opt-outs, and message logs must be documented for audits.

  
  

The Risks of Non-Compliance

Non-compliance with texting rules can expose businesses to:

• Financial Penalties – TCPA fines range from $500 to $1,500 per violation.

• Lawsuits – Class-action cases cost companies millions.

• Reputation Damage – Non-compliant messaging frustrates customers and erodes trust.

• Delivery Issues – Carriers may block or filter non-compliant traffic.

Simply put: the cost of non-compliance far outweighs the investment in proper technology.

Common Texting Compliance Challenges

Even with good intentions, businesses struggle with:

• Tracking and storing proof of consent.

• Preventing texts outside of legal time windows.

• Keeping opt-out requests synced across multiple systems.

• Being audit-ready with complete records.

• Navigating carrier rules that change frequently.

  
  

Manual solutions leave too much room for error—automation is the answer.

Compliance Beyond Regulations: Following the T-Mobile Code of Conduct

At Divinity Software, we ensure every client meets these carrier-specific standards.

How We Follow the T-Mobile Code of Conduct:
