Socialight SMS program

How people come to receive a text from +1 (855) 259-4391, and how they stop it. Socialight, LLC · socialight.app · support@socialight.app

Socialight is a mobile app for spontaneous plans. A user writes a short invitation ("Who wants to grab tacos tonight?") and sends it to people they choose one by one from their own phone contacts. Recipients who have the app get a push notification; recipients who do not have the app receive one SMS carrying that invitation. There is no marketing, no bulk sending and no purchased lists: every text exists because a specific person who already has the recipient's number invited them to something.

How a recipient comes to receive a text

1. The sender picks recipients by hand from their own phone contacts.

3. Before anything is forwarded, the app explains exactly what recipients will see.

What the text says

Invitation from +1 415 555 0199 via Socialight:
"Who wants to grab tacos at Loco's tonight? Table at 7:30"
Say "Let's go" or see details: https://socialight.app/i/k7Qz9m
Reply STOP to opt out.

Every message names the sender by phone number, quotes the invitation, links only to socialight.app, and ends with the opt-out instruction. The sender's own number is shown so the recipient can recognise who invited them and reply to them directly.

Opt-out and help

STOP (also UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, QUIT) — the number is marked opted out immediately and never texted again. Reply: "You will no longer receive texts from Socialight. Reply START to opt back in."
START — re-enables texts. Reply: "You will receive Socialight invitations again. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help."
HELP — Reply: "Socialight: invitations sent by people who have your number. Reply STOP to opt out. Help: support@socialight.app"
The link in every text opens a page with a "Stop texts from this sender" button (per-sender opt-out) next to the global opt-out.

Frequency and volume

A recipient is texted only when someone who already has their number sends them an invitation; the same sender can reach the same number at most 3 times per 7 days, and a number can receive at most 10 Socialight texts per day. Opted-out numbers are excluded before any message is queued. Message and data rates may apply.
