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.
