Opt-In Page Requirements for A2P 10DLC Compliance

Your opt-in page is one of the three things carriers check during A2P 10DLC review — and it trips up more GoHighLevel agencies than you'd expect. This guide covers exactly what needs to be on the page, what format it should take, and how to avoid common mistakes.

Why Do Carriers Check Your Opt-In Page?

The whole point of A2P 10DLC is to make sure people actually want the messages they're receiving. Your opt-in page is the proof that recipients consented. Carriers don't just glance at it — they read the page, check the disclosures, and verify that it matches what you described in your campaign description.

A missing or incomplete opt-in page is one of the top reasons registrations get rejected.

What Are the Required Elements on an Opt-In Page?

Every opt-in page must include all of the following. Skip one and you risk rejection:

1. Description of Messages

Tell people exactly what types of messages they'll receive. "You'll get texts from us" is not enough. Be specific: appointment reminders, promotional offers, order updates — whatever your client's use case is.

2. Message Frequency

Include a statement about how often messages will be sent. Something like: "You may receive up to 4 messages per month" or "Message frequency varies." Carriers need to see this.

3. "Message and Data Rates May Apply"

This exact phrase (or a very close version) must appear on the page. It's a carrier requirement, and leaving it out is a guaranteed flag.

4. Opt-Out Instructions

Include clear instructions on how to stop receiving messages: "Reply STOP to unsubscribe" or "Text STOP to opt out at any time." This must be visible on the page before the user submits the form.

5. Help Instructions

Tell users how to get help: "Reply HELP for assistance" or provide a phone number or email for support. This is separate from the opt-out — you need both.

6. Privacy Policy Link

A working link to the business's privacy policy. The privacy policy should mention SMS/text messaging and how phone numbers are used.

7. Terms of Service Link

A working link to the business's terms of service. Like the privacy policy, it should reference text messaging.

8. Explicit Consent Mechanism

Users must actively do something to opt in — submit a form, check a checkbox, click a button. Pre-checked boxes don't count. The act of consent needs to be deliberate and documented.

What Should an A2P Opt-In Page Look Like?

There's no required design, but the best opt-in pages are simple and clear. They typically include:

• The business name and logo
• A short description of the messaging program
• A form with a phone number field
• A consent checkbox or a clear "Submit" button with consent language nearby
• All the legal disclosures listed above, visible without scrolling (ideally)

Don't bury the disclosures in a footer or behind a link. Carriers want to see them on the page, not hidden away.

What Are the Most Common Opt-In Page Mistakes?

• Using a generic GHL funnel page — if it doesn't mention the specific business and include all compliance language, it won't pass
• Broken or expired links — if the URL you submitted no longer works, your registration can be revoked
• Missing STOP/HELP language — both are required, not just one
• Mismatch with campaign description — if your campaign says "appointment reminders" but your opt-in page says "promotional deals," that's a red flag
• No privacy policy or terms — even if the business has these pages, you need to link to them from the opt-in page specifically
