Program overview
Totie (operated by Mahy Group LLC) sends transactional / service SMS about tote rentals — for example a note that your request is waiting, a pay link after it is confirmed, and delivery or pickup reminders.
Brand name in messages: Totie. Message frequency varies based on the user’s laundry schedule. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help, or START to resubscribe after opting out.
How users opt in (Call to Action)
End users may opt in on the Totie website when creating an account. Opt-in is voluntary and is not required to finish signup. The primary consumer path is https://hitotie.com/signup/customer. Other Totie signup roles use the same phone field and consent controls.
- Open the Totie signup page from the marketing site or a local route page.
- Enter name, mobile phone number, email, and password.
- Read the messaging disclosure under the phone field (quoted below) and open the linked Terms and Privacy Policy if desired.
- Optionally check the unchecked-by-default SMS consent checkbox. Checking the box is voluntary. You can create an account and complete signup without it. If you leave it unchecked, Totie will not send SMS and will use email instead.
- Submit the form to create the account.
Users may also add or change a mobile number later at account profile settings (after signing in). Adding or changing a number shows the same disclosure and optional unchecked consent checkbox. Saving the number does not require checking the box.
