Phone Verification vs SMS Consent

Two similar-sounding steps that do very different things.

Phone Verification
  • Purpose: confirms you own the phone number
  • Login verification
  • Account recovery
  • Identity confirmation on a signature
SMS Consent
  • Purpose: permission for FieldNDA to text you about NDAs
  • Signing requests
  • Signature reminders
  • Status and countersign notifications
Why both exist

Verification protects your account. Consent protects your inbox. Owning a phone number doesn't automatically opt you in to messages — you decide that separately.
