In this modern era of SMS marketing, being compliant is not a choice—it’s a must. Carrier filtering, changing regulations, and tighter TCPA restrictions mean that one misstep sends your messages into a blocked-list purgatory or, worse, costs your company hefty fines. With most SMS platforms saying they are compliant, it doesn’t always mean they have the infrastructure to guard your business. Launch Control is head and shoulders above others, such as Smarter Contact, in terms of SMS compliance and risk protection.
Why SMS Compliance is More Crucial Than Ever
The A2P 10DLC regulatory landscape is evolving, and not keeping up with compliance standards can shut down your texting business overnight. Many real estate investors and wholesalers have been de-platformed due to the fact that they used a method that did not sufficiently steer clear of TCPA and carrier rules.
Smarter Contact is lacking in this area as its compliance system is weaker, having a tendency to lead to a large number of message filters or even account suspension.
Why Launch Control Reigns Supreme in SMS Compliance
TCPA & Carrier Compliance Built-In
✅ Pre-Configured Compliance Templates – Launch Control comes with native compliance solutions, including opt-in/opt-out automation and best practices for legal messaging.
✅ A2P 10DLC Registration Support – Navigating carrier regulations can be tricky, but Launch Control ensures you’re always on the right side of the rules.
✅ DNC & Litigator Scrubbing – Stay protected from TCPA lawsuits with automated Do Not Call (DNC) list scrubbing and real-time litigator list updates.
Smarter Contact doesn’t offer the same level of compliance support, leaving users at risk of penalties, account shutdowns, and even lawsuits.
The Cost of Non-Compliance
Using an SMS marketing platform that isn’t compliance-first is a risk for your business.
TCPA Lawsuits Can Cost You Thousands – Penalties for non-compliant texting can reach up to $1,500 per message—so a few careless mistakes could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Carrier Filtering Cancels Out Messages – Should your messages not meet these guidelines, carriers like AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile are in the position to block your messages from getting to prospective buyers.
Account Suspension – Many real estate investors making use of Smarter Contact have reported their accounts being shut down due to non-compliance issues. Losing your SMS platform means losing your path to fresh leads, transactions, and revenue.
