Text Messaging

Aptora Corporation sends text messages (SMS/MMS) to the owners, managers and staff of contracting businesses (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) about their own Flat Rate Plus Online® quote, invoice, account and support requests. These are business-to-business transactional messages. We do not text consumers or homeowners, and we send no marketing or promotional texts under this program.

How You Opt In

Consent is always given verbally, in a direct conversation with an Aptora representative. Your mobile number comes from you. It is never purchased, rented, appended, or obtained from a third party. There are three situations:

  • Requesting a price quote. You contact us to ask what the software costs. Our representative asks whether you want the quote sent by text, reads the disclosure below, then asks for your mobile number.
  • Calling support or accounting. You ask us to text you about your account. The representative reads the same disclosure before recording the number.
  • In person. At a trade show, training class or on-site visit, you give your mobile number to a representative after hearing the same disclosure.

What We Say, Word for Word

Aptora: “We can text you about your Flat Rate Plus Online quote, invoice, account and support requests. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help or STOP to opt out at any time. Our SMS terms are at my.flatratesoftware.com/SmsTerms and our privacy policy is at www.flatratesoftware.com/privacy-policy. Consent is not a condition of purchase. Would you like to receive these texts — yes or no?”

Customer: “Yes.”

Aptora: “Thank you. You are enrolled, and we will text you a confirmation shortly.”

There is no text-to-join keyword and no public web sign-up form for this program. Consumers do not text us first to subscribe.
