What this page is: AYIT Creativity LLC operates a private toll-free SMS notification system at (844) 646-1238. This page exists for transparency and to satisfy carrier verification requirements: it documents who can receive messages, what consent looks like, what messages contain, and how to opt out. The program is not offered to the public — messages are sent only to recipients on a small internal allow-list.
1. Program Description
AYIT Creativity LLC, a California single-member LLC (Entity # B20260151711, EIN 41-5194578), uses one toll-free number to send internal operational notifications to a private allow-list of explicitly enrolled recipients. The program is private and limited in scope. We do not offer SMS messaging as a public service, do not accept signups from the website, and never send marketing, promotional, lead-generation, or third-party messaging on this number.
1.1 Authorized recipients
Today the allow-list contains two phone numbers: the LLC owner (Shannon Patterson) and his spouse, who provides operational support for the LLC's properties (thiscalc.com, thisdevtool.com). The list may grow only to include additional household members or LLC-engaged staff — never public customers or unsolicited recipients. The system code enforces this: outbound SMS is hard-gated against an AUTHORIZED_SMS_NUMBERS allow-list maintained by the operator, and any number not on the list is rejected before a message is sent.
1.2 Message content
Messages are limited to operational information for the LLC's day-to-day work:
- Scheduled reminders the recipient or operator has explicitly created (calendar events, appointments, follow-ups)
- Deployment and uptime alerts for the LLC's software properties
- Two-factor authentication codes for the operator's internal admin tools
- Operational coordination (e.g., "package delivered to porch", "appointment moved to 3 PM")
No marketing. No promotional content. No commercial offers. No third-party content.
2. How Consent Is Collected (Verbal Opt-In)
Each recipient is enrolled only after providing explicit verbal consent during a live in-person or telephone conversation with the LLC owner. There is no online signup form, no checkbox flow, no SMS keyword opt-in, and no third-party data source. Consent is captured in person.
2.1 The verbatim verbal consent script
The LLC owner reads the following script, in full and without paraphrasing, before any phone number is added to the allow-list:
“Hi [name], this is Shannon from AYIT Creativity LLC. I'd like to add your phone number to our internal notification system. You'd receive operational messages from our toll-free line at (844) 646-1238 — typically scheduled reminders, calendar alerts, and 2FA codes. Message frequency is well under fifty messages per month. Standard message and data rates may apply. You can reply STOP at any time to unsubscribe, or HELP for support. Do you agree to receive these messages from AYIT Creativity LLC at this number?”
Only an explicit “yes” results in enrollment. Anything else — including silence, hesitation, or asking to think about it — is treated as a no, and the number is not added.
2.2 What is logged at enrollment
When a recipient consents, the following is recorded:
- Recipient name
- Recipient phone number
- Date and time of consent (timestamp)
- The script that was read (this exact text)
- The recipient's affirmative response
This consent record is retained for the duration of the recipient's enrollment plus four years after opt-out, in line with industry retention guidance.
3. Sample Messages
The following are representative examples of the messages a recipient may receive. All include sender identification and opt-out language:
4. Message Frequency
Typical volume is well under 50 messages per recipient per month, with a system-wide cap of 100 messages per month across all enrolled recipients. Frequency varies based on the reminders the recipient has set and operational events.
5. Opt-Out (STOP) and HELP
- STOP — Reply
STOPto (844) 646-1238 at any time. The system processes opt-out automatically: the number is removed from the allow-list, no further messages are sent, and a single confirmation message is delivered. To re-enroll later, the recipient must consent again verbally with the LLC owner. - HELP — Reply
HELPto (844) 646-1238 to receive AYIT Creativity LLC contact information and support instructions. - Standard message and data rates may apply per the recipient's mobile carrier plan.
