Text Messaging

Texting, on your terms.

I only text people who ask me to. Checking the text message box on a form is optional, it never changes whether I get back to you, and you can stop the messages at any time by replying STOP. This page explains exactly how the program works.

How you opt in

There is exactly one way onto this list: you check the optional text message box yourself on the contact form or the booking form. I never buy phone numbers, never import lists, and never add anyone on their behalf. The box starts unchecked and leaving it unchecked does not stop you from submitting the form.

What appears on those forms

I agree Justin Bautista of JB Financial Services Agency may contact me by phone or email about insurance options. Consent is not a condition of purchase.

Text me about my appointment (optional). I agree to receive text messages from JB Financial Services Agency at the number provided, including appointment reminders, replies to my questions, and one-time verification codes. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of purchase. See the Privacy Policy and Terms.

Shown here as it appears on the live forms. Only the second box relates to text messages, and it is never required.

Your number stays with me

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties. The only parties who ever touch your number are the messaging provider that delivers the text and, if you ask me to submit an application, the insurance carrier you choose.
