Attachment Missing Opt-in Form

Fix TCR 2129 – attachment missing opt‑in form. Understand the rule, see compliant wording, and correct the message.

Why This Rejection Happens

The file or screenshot you uploaded as proof of consent (e.g., image of a paper form, flyer, or POS screen) does not clearly show the "opt-in" mechanism. The vetting agent cannot find the checkbox, signature line, or consent statement in the provided attachment.

Common Triggers: Uploading a blurry photo, uploading only the top half of a form (hiding the legal text), or uploading a generic marketing flyer instead of the signup sheet.

Root Cause Analysis

Primary Triggers

  • Illegible Image: The text in the uploaded screenshot is too small or blurry to read. Carriers must be able to read the legal disclaimer.
  • Wrong Document: You uploaded a copy of your logo or a business card instead of the intake form that collects the phone number.
  • Cropped Content: The screenshot cuts off the mandatory disclosures (Brand Name, "Msg & Data rates," Frequency).

Step-by-Step Remediation

Review Your Current Upload

Open the file you submitted. Can you read the fine print without squinting? Does it show the phone number field?

✓ Acceptable

✗ Unacceptable

[Blurry photo or just a logo]

Capture a High-Quality Image

Digital: Use a screen capture tool to take a crisp PNG of the entire form area.

Paper: Scan the document or take a well-lit photo. Ensure no text is cut off.

Host and Resubmit

Upload the new image to a public host (AWS S3, Google Drive public link, or your own server) and paste the URL into the "Opt-in Image URL" field.

Carrier-Specific Requirements

T-Mobile

  • Does not accept "mockups" that look fake. If submitting a paper form, a photo of the actual printed form is better than the Word doc file.

AT&T

  • If the form is multi-page (e.g., iPad kiosk), create a PDF or a long screenshot showing the entire flow from data entry to consent agreement.

MyTCRPlus Tools That Can Help

Screenshot Hosting Service

We provide a secure, fast CDN to host your compliance screenshots for carrier review.

If your paper form is non-compliant, generate a compliant digital version to print out.

Pre-Resubmission Checklist

  • The image is high-resolution (text is readable).
  • The image shows the phone number input field.
  • The image shows the consent checkbox (or signature line).
  • The legal disclosure text is fully visible.
  • The URL provided links directly to the image file (ends in .png, .jpg, .pdf).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Google Drive "Request Access"

The most common error is submitting a Google Drive link that is private. The carrier bot cannot request access. Make the link "Anyone with the link can view."

❌ Uploading the Wrong File

Double-check that you didn't accidentally upload the "Privacy Policy" document instead of the "Opt-in Form" image.

Expected Timeline

This guidance provides general information about 10DLC compliance requirements. Visual proof of consent is a critical anti-fraud measure. Organizations must ensure their documentation clearly demonstrates how consumer permission is obtained. MyTCRPlus does not provide legal advisory services or regulatory representation.
