How customers opt in to SMS from C4TS Depot

C4TS Depot L.L.C. · Last updated September 20, 2026

C4TS Depot L.L.C. trades locally as Cash for Diabetic Supplies in Sacramento, Stockton, Modesto, Dublin, Antioch and Fremont, each with its own local number. Messages sent from a regional number identify with that regional name, as shown below.

How customers opt in

Customers opt in to text messages from C4TS Depot L.L.C. in one of four ways. On every route the customer is given these disclosures before we send a text: Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to opt out, or HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of any purchase or sale.

1. By texting us first. The customer texts one of our six published regional numbers, which appear on our home page beneath our consent notice. The inbound text is the consent, and our first reply carries the disclosure line shown below.

Demonstration, August 21, 2026, shown as recorded in our CRM. We ran this test ourselves on our own registered Sacramento line: a member of our business sent the first message from a phone that had never contacted that line, so both ends of this conversation were operated by C4TS Depot. It shows the first reply our system composes to a new conversation and the disclosures that reply carries. It is not a customer conversation, and it is a record of our CRM, not of a handset.

2. By phone. The customer calls one of our published numbers. Before we send any text we ask on the call: "Before we hang up - may we text you at this number about your quote and pickup? Message frequency varies, message and data rates may apply, you can reply STOP at any time to opt out or HELP for help, and saying no will not affect your quote." We record the date, the time and the answer. Anyone who says no is not texted.

3. By email. The customer emails us and includes a mobile number. We reply by email, ask the same question with the same disclosures, and send a text only after the customer agrees by return email. We keep that email.

4. By our quote form. The form at www.c4tsdepot.com/contact has an optional mobile-number field and a separate checkbox, unchecked by default, labelled "Text me about my quote. (optional)", with the disclosures beside it. The form submits with the box unchecked, and those customers are not texted. We keep the wording shown, the time and the page with each submission.

Our live quote form at www.c4tsdepot.com/contact, captured September 20, 2026 at a phone-sized screen, exactly as a visitor first sees it: nothing entered, and the text-message box unchecked. The mobile number and the box are both optional, the consent wording and disclosures sit beside the box rather than behind a link, and the form submits without either.

We do not add anyone to text messaging in any other way. Our website chat does not collect phone numbers.

What messages we send

How we handle STOP and HELP — not an opt-in path

Every message we send carries STOP and HELP instructions. A customer who replies STOP is opted out immediately, and a customer who has opted out can restore messages themselves by replying START. This is opt-out handling, not an opt-in method. START only restores a contact who had already opted in and then chose to stop; it never enrolls anyone new, and we do not advertise or accept any keyword as a way to join.

Demonstration of our opt-out handling, recorded in our CRM on July 26, 2026: a test conversation run by the business on its own Dublin line, in which the test phone texts STOP and is marked opted out in our CRM, later texts START to restore messages, and then continues the conversation

Demonstration, July 26, 2026, shown as recorded in our CRM. We ran this test ourselves on our own registered Dublin line: a member of our business texted STOP from a personal phone and our CRM marked that number opted out; the same phone then texted START, which cleared the opt-out, and its next message continued the conversation. Both ends of this conversation were operated by C4TS Depot. The reply shown is the text our system composed, as our CRM recorded it. Confirmation of STOP and START is handled by our messaging provider's built-in opt-out service, outside our CRM, so no confirmation message appears in this record. It is not a customer conversation, and it is a record of our CRM, not of a handset. Shown here as evidence of how opt-out is handled, not as an opt-in exhibit.
