Mosio 2-way Text Messaging

Important Considerations

A copy of your approved IRB document(s) that notes SMS/ text message communications is required to utilize this service. To meet A2P 10DLC Campaign registration requirements Opt-In assets are also required. Please plan accordingly before submitting a request for Mosio Services!

Opt-In Description:

Phone carriers will evaluate the opt-in workflow. All methods below do not bypass the need for the IRB to have approved the study for SMS communications prior to requesting SMS services.

Acceptable Opt-In methods:

• Opt-in by signing ICF that notes SMS/ text messaging communications will be used

• Opt-in by online form

  • Example:

    Open

    

• Opt-in by texting a keyword in the FIRST message sent to the participant 

  • This works well for studies that are using SMS as their first point of contact or for recruitment purposes.

  • The first text sent to the potential participant must host both the opt-in and opt-out language.

It is the study team's responsibility to configure and manage their Mosio project dashboard and communications with research participants to meet their project needs. The CTSI will handle the campaign submission process with Mosio, then hand the account over to the study team.
