How TattleTow users opt in to text alerts

TattleTow Parking Alerts · opt-in screenshots · Milwaukee, WI

Text-alert opt-in happens inside the TattleTow mobile app (iPhone and Android): on the sign-up screen, and in Settings. Because those screens are not on the public web, they are shown below. The consent box reads, verbatim:

“Yes, text me parking-complaint alerts for my watch zones. Msg & data rates may apply. Msg frequency varies. Reply STOP to cancel, HELP for help.”

The box is never pre-selected, and consent is never a condition of signing up for, buying, or using TattleTow. Full program details: tattletow.com/sms-alerts. Message frequency varies — typically 0–5 messages per week. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to unsubscribe, HELP for help.
