Details on the Nellson Associates SMS program: what messages we send, frequency, opt-in and opt-out instructions, and how to manage your phone number.

SMS & Text Messaging Program

Stay connected with your account, engagements, and verification codes — on your terms. Clear, low-frequency, transactional text messages from Nellson Associates.

What you'll receive

Messages from Nellson Associates are strictly transactional. They relate to your account, your consulting engagement, or a verification step you specifically initiated. We don't send promotional offers or marketing campaigns over SMS.

Login & verification codes

6-digit codes sent only when you request to log in or verify your phone number. Codes expire quickly and are not reusable.

Appointment & meeting reminders

Reminders for scheduled calls, workshops, or consulting sessions you booked through the site.

Engagement status updates

Notifications about active consulting engagements — contract signatures, milestone completions, invoice availability.

Customer-service replies

Responses to questions or support requests you submit to us. We won't text you out of the blue.

Not on this list? Then we won't send it. We do not send promotional marketing, third-party offers, newsletters, or bulk announcements over SMS.

Frequently asked questions

Will you text me marketing?

No. The SMS program is strictly transactional. You will never receive promotional offers, discounts, newsletters, or third-party ads from us over SMS.

Do you share my phone number with anyone?

The only party that receives your phone number is our SMS delivery provider (Microsoft Azure Communication Services), and only so the messages you asked for can be delivered. We do not share your number or opt-in status for marketing, promotional, or affiliate purposes. Full detail lives in our Privacy Policy.

What number will I receive messages from?

Messages come from our U.S. toll-free number. All SMS from Nellson Associates begin with "Nellson Associates:" so you can identify them at a glance.

Does it cost anything to receive SMS?

Nellson Associates does not charge you to send or receive messages. However, standard carrier rates for SMS and data may apply based on your mobile plan. Contact your carrier for details.

What if I'm outside the U.S. or Canada?

Our toll-free SMS program supports U.S. and Canadian mobile numbers only. If you're outside those regions, you can still use our email-based verification and notification channels — no phone number required.

I stopped getting messages. What now?

Check your profile settings to confirm your number is still added and verified. If you previously replied STOP, text START to our number or re-enable SMS in your profile. For anything else, email contact@nellsonassociates.com.

Can I use SMS without creating an account?

No. SMS is tied to your account so we can link messages to the right engagement or appointment. Creating an account is free and takes about a minute.
