SMS Opt-In

How SMS notifications work in Salvager — and how to opt in or out.

Overview

Salvager sends SMS text messages to notify users of real-time activity on their listings and bids. Messages are sent only to users who have explicitly opted in inside the app. Consent is separate from account creation and is entirely optional.

How to Opt In

New account — during signup

1

Download the Salvager app and start the signup process.

2

Fill in your details, including your phone number.

3

Check the box labeled "I agree to receive SMS messages from Salvager". This is a separate, optional checkbox — leaving it unchecked will not block you from creating an account.

4

Continue and complete phone verification.

Existing account — in the app

1

Open the Salvager app and log in to your account.

2

Tap Profile in the bottom navigation bar.

3

Tap "I agree — turn on SMS" on the consent banner at the top of your Profile, or scroll to SMS Notifications and toggle it on.

4

Confirm your phone number is saved under Personal Info.

Screenshots

The following screenshots show the complete SMS opt-in flow inside the Salvager mobile app on both iOS and Android.

iOS — Signup flow

The SMS consent checkbox is unchecked by default. Users must actively check it to opt in. Leaving it unchecked does not block account creation.

What You'll Receive

Account verification codes (one-time passcodes during signup) are transactional and may be sent regardless of SMS notification consent.

Message Frequency

Message frequency varies based on activity in the marketplace. Most users receive between 1 and 10 messages per month. Message and data rates may apply.

Consent Language

By checking the SMS consent box during signup (or tapping "I agree — turn on SMS" in your Profile), you agree to receive SMS messages from Salvager (Carsmart Inc) at the phone number you provide, including account verification codes, listing notifications, and bid alerts. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies based on your activity. Reply STOP at any time to opt out, or reply HELP for assistance. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your information.

We do not share your phone number with third parties for marketing purposes.

To opt out at any time: Reply STOP to any Salvager text message, or toggle SMS Notifications off in your app Profile. You will receive one final confirmation message and no further texts will be sent.

For help reply HELP, or contact bids@salvager.bid. SMS messages are sent from +1 (888) 281-4214.
