Compliant SMS Marketing Platform
Text your leads, get replies, and stay inside TCPA and 10DLC rules. Every message is checked before it sends.
Fix before sending
What ColdTexting is
ColdTexting is a compliant SMS marketing platform for sales teams and agencies. It sends campaigns and sequences only to opted-in contacts, scores every message for TCPA and 10DLC risk before it sends, honors STOP on every number and keeps a consent record per contact. Plans start at $24 per month billed yearly, and every plan is bought online.
For sales teams and agencies
Reps get replies, not lawsuits
A text gets read within minutes. ColdTexting lets your team follow up every inbound lead by SMS and keeps each message inside the rules that carriers and courts enforce.
- Follow up while the lead is warm. Send a first text the moment a form comes in, from a local business number.
- Nothing goes out unchecked. Each message gets a compliance score before it can be scheduled.
- Only people who said yes. Contacts without a consent record are held back automatically.
Compliance built in
Three guardrails on every send
Consent, opt-outs and sending hours are enforced by the product, not left to a checklist in someone's head.
Consent records
Every contact carries proof of opt-in. Imports without a consent source are rejected.
- Source
- Web form, /demo-request
- Captured
- Sep 28, 10:14 am CT
- IP address
- 203.0.113.24
- Form text
- Stored, version 3
STOP everywhere
STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END and QUIT suppress the number on every line, campaign and sequence at once.
- (512) 555-0148 STOP
- (305) 555-0193 UNSUBSCRIBE
- (206) 555-0117 Reassigned
Quiet hours by state
Messages wait until the allowed window in the recipient's own time zone, with stricter state rules applied.

Two-way inbox
Every reply lands with the right rep
Replies from all your numbers arrive in one shared inbox. Assignment rules route them, saved replies keep answers consistent, and the consent record sits next to every thread.
Sequences and CRM sync
Follow ups that stop the moment a lead answers
Build multi-step SMS drip campaigns that pause on any reply and end on any opt-out. Contacts, consent and replies sync to your CRM as activities.

For agencies
Run SMS for every client from one login
Each client gets a sub-account with its own 10DLC brand, number pool, contacts and reports. Your team switches between them without logging out.
Example input and output
The same offer, scored before and after
Carriers filter the left message and the TCPA exposes it. The right one keeps the offer and passes every check.

How it works
How every text gets checked
The composer scores the message against TCPA, CTIA and carrier rules. Anything below the send threshold shows the exact fix.
Sends go out from a sticky number pool, so each contact always hears from the same local number, and only inside the allowed hours.
Replies pause the sequence, land in the shared inbox and sync to the CRM as an activity on the contact.
Consent, sends, replies and opt-outs are written to an audit log you can export, with a consent proof PDF per contact on Scale and Enterprise.

Comparison
How ColdTexting differs from a generic mass texting tool
Most texting tools let you send first and leave the law to you. Here is what changes when compliance is part of the product.
| Capability | ColdTexting | Generic mass texting tool |
|---|---|---|
| Consent record required on every import | Yes | No |
| Compliance score before a message can be scheduled | Yes | No |
| STOP honored across all numbers and sequences | Yes | Per number or per campaign |
| Quiet hours by recipient time zone and state | Yes | Account time zone |
| 10DLC brand and campaign registration in the app | Yes | Often a support ticket |
| Purchased lists blocked | Yes | No |
| Enterprise plan bought online, no sales call | Yes | No |
For RevOps, owners and compliance
One claim costs more than years of the tool
The TCPA allows statutory damages of $500 per unsolicited text, and up to $1,500 when the violation is willful. Move the slider to your monthly volume and compare the exposure with the plan that covers it.
- Sends blocked without a consent record
- Roles and permissions per workspace
- Exportable audit log of every send and opt-out
- Consent proof PDF per contact on Scale
- SAML SSO, SCIM and IP allowlist on Enterprise
- 99.9 percent uptime SLA on Enterprise
- Exposure at $500 per text
- $1,000,000
- If found willful, $1,500 per text
- $3,000,000
- Growth plan covers this volume, billed yearly
- $888per year
One text per contact, one segment each. The exposure is 1,126 times the yearly price of the plan that sends it with consent checks on.
Get startedGlossary
Four terms every texting team should know
- 10DLC
- 10DLC is the US system for sending business texts from standard 10 digit local numbers, which requires a registered brand and campaign with the carriers.
- 10DLC registration
- TCPA
- The Telephone Consumer Protection Act is the federal law that requires prior express written consent for marketing texts and sets damages of $500 to $1,500 per violation.
- TCPA compliance
- A2P messaging
- A2P, application to person, means texts sent by business software to people, as opposed to person to person chats, and carriers apply stricter filtering to it.
- Business texting
- Opt-in
- Opt-in is the recorded permission a person gives to receive texts, ideally with the source, time, IP address and the exact consent wording.
- Cold texting rules

An SMS marketing platform sends text campaigns, sequences and replies from business numbers to contacts who opted in. ColdTexting adds a compliance score on every message, consent records on every contact and automatic STOP handling across all numbers.
ColdTexting blocks sends to contacts without a consent record, holds messages outside quiet hours in the recipient time zone, adds opt-out language and registers your 10DLC brand and campaign inside the app.
No. Every import needs a consent source, timestamp and the form text the contact agreed to. Purchased and rented lists are not allowed under our acceptable use policy.
Plans start at $49 per month, or $24 per month billed yearly. Growth is $149, Scale is $499 and Enterprise is $1,499 per month, each with 50 percent off on yearly billing.
Yes. Growth and higher plans sync contacts, consent and replies with HubSpot, Pipedrive and Zapier. Scale adds Salesforce sync, webhooks and a REST API.
Marketing texts sent with an autodialer need prior express written consent under the TCPA, so texting strangers from a bought list is not legal. ColdTexting is built for contacts who opted in, such as inbound leads, and blocks sends to contacts without a consent record.
Registered 10DLC traffic, number pools with sticky sender, content scoring and instant opt-out handling keep carrier filtering low. The composer flags URL shorteners, missing brand names and spam phrases before you send.
The number is suppressed at once on every number, campaign and sequence in your workspace, one confirmation text is sent, and the opt-out is written to the audit log.
Move to the next plan at any time. The price difference is charged right away and the higher limits apply immediately. There are no credits and no top-ups.
No. Every plan, Enterprise included, is bought online with a card, and yearly plans cost half the monthly price.
