SMS / Text Message Communications

If you provide your phone number when scheduling a consultation — either by entering it on grantledger.net or by giving it verbally to our sales team during a phone call — you consent to receive transactional SMS messages from GrantLedger related to that consultation. These messages include:

  • Booking confirmation when you schedule a meeting

  • A follow-up message with a reschedule link if you miss your scheduled time

Message frequency: Messages are sent only in connection with a scheduled consultation. We do not send marketing or promotional SMS. Typical volume is fewer than 5 messages per consultation.

Message and data rates may apply. Standard carrier rates set by your mobile provider apply to messages you receive from us. GrantLedger does not charge a separate fee for SMS.

Opt out: Reply STOP to any message from us to immediately unsubscribe from all future SMS. You will receive a one-time confirmation that you have been unsubscribed. To re-subscribe, schedule a new consultation and provide your phone number.

Help: Reply HELP to any message for support information, or email jake@grant-ledger.com.

Carriers and privacy: Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. We do not sell, rent, or share mobile phone numbers or SMS opt-in data with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Phone numbers collected for SMS are used only to send the appointment messages described above.
