Subject: Whitelist request: LevSMS NW Pilot SMS community information service

Hello,

My name is Sam Treitel. I am preparing a small NW Pilot called LevSMS, an SMS-only community information service for kosher/basic-phone users.

LevSMS is not an open chat service and not an AI chatbot. Users text simple commands such as MENU, MINYAN, ZMANIM, WEATHER, PARSHA, HELP, or STOP to a local 516 number and receive approved public community information in plain text. Messages are sent only in response to user requests. STOP is honored automatically.

Pilot number:

(516) 585-2323

Public information page:

https://levsms.com/

Privacy:

https://levsms.com/privacy.html

Terms:

https://levsms.com/terms.html

We are trying to serve users who intentionally avoid smartphones and group chats, so carrier trust is important to us. Can you please advise whether this number can be whitelisted or reviewed as an approved community information utility?

Thank you,

Sam Treitel

Phone script

Hi, this is Sam Treitel. I am launching a small NW Pilot SMS utility called LevSMS. It is keyword-only: users text MENU, MINYAN, ZMANIM, WEATHER, HELP, or STOP and receive public community info. It is not a chatbot and it does not send unsolicited messages. I want to make sure kosher-phone users are not blocked from receiving it. Who handles whitelisting or review of SMS service numbers?
