“Opt-in text messages” means text messages that a person has agreed to receive. In other words, the sender has permission before sending the messages.
People usually opt in by signing up on a website, checking a box, filling out a form, or texting a keyword to a number. Businesses use opt-in text messages for updates, reminders, promotions, and alerts.
