SMS Listing Verification

Last updated June 16, 2026

This page documents how Hire a Mural Artist (hiremuralartist.com) collects consent for one-time SMS verification codes — for transparency and for messaging-compliance review. SMS is used only to verify that a business owner controls the phone number on their directory listing. It is never used for marketing.

Program overview

  • Who sends: Hire a Mural Artist, an online directory of mural artists in the United States.
  • Who receives: Business owners who have a listing in our directory and who request phone verification.
  • Why: To deliver a one-time passcode (OTP) so the owner can prove they control the phone number shown on their listing and claim or manage it.
  • Message type: One-time, user-initiated, transactional verification messages — never marketing, never recurring.

How you opt in

Consent is active and user-initiated. Nothing is pre-selected, and no message is ever sent unless you take these steps yourself:

  1. Open your business listing on hiremuralartist.com.
  2. Select “Text me a verification code.”
  3. Confirm the mobile phone number already shown on your listing.
  4. We send a single one-time passcode by SMS; enter it on the site to verify ownership.

What you agree to

By selecting “Text me a verification code” and confirming your number, you agree to receive a one-time verification passcode by SMS from Hire a Mural Artist at the number shown on your listing. This is a single, transactional message sent only because you requested it — you are not enrolled in any recurring or promotional texting program.

Message frequency, rates & opt-out

  • Message frequency: One message per request — you receive a code only when you ask for one. This is not a recurring or marketing program.
  • Cost: Message and data rates may apply.
  • Help: Reply HELP to any message for help, or contact us.
  • Opt out: Reply STOP to any message to stop receiving texts. You’ll receive a one-time confirmation and no further messages.

Sample messages

  • Hire a Mural Artist: your verification code is 123456. It expires in 10 minutes. Reply HELP for help, STOP to opt out.
  • Hire a Mural Artist: You are unsubscribed and will receive no further texts. Reply HELP for help.

Your privacy

We share your mobile number only with our SMS provider (Twilio) to deliver the codes you request. Mobile information and text-messaging consent are never shared with third parties for marketing or any other purpose. For full details, see our Privacy Policy and our SMS Terms.
