SMS Opt-In

Last updated: November 12, 2026

Program

Ghost phone verification, operated by Openlife AI, Inc (Ghost is a trade name of Openlife AI, Inc). Ghost sends one-time verification codes by text message to confirm the real phone number a user enters. Messages are transactional only: no marketing and no links. In the Ghost app, codes to US numbers are sent through our messaging provider, TextKit (formerly SimpleSMS), from Ghost's toll-free number (844) 468-0267, and may also be sent from a Ghost local (10-digit) number. Other codes, and some codes to US numbers (for example a resend, or a code requested on our website), are sent through our verification provider, Twilio.

Where users opt in

Users opt in inside the Ghost mobile app, on the Verify Phone Number screen, by checking the consent box and requesting a code for their own number. This page describes that screen; it is not itself a sign-up form and does not send messages.

  1. The user opens the Ghost app and reaches the Verify Phone Number screen.
  2. They enter the phone number they want to verify.
  3. For a number with the +1 country code (such as a US or Canadian number), they check the consent box. It starts unchecked, and Request Code stays disabled until it is checked.
  4. They tap Request Code. A code is sent only after this tap, and only to the number they entered.
  5. Ghost texts one verification code to that number, which the user enters to confirm it.

Consent box

The consent box is live in the current Ghost app. It is on the Verify Phone Number screen for numbers with the +1 country code (such as US and Canadian numbers), between the phone number field and Request Code. It is unchecked by default and is never pre-checked, and Request Code stays disabled until it is checked. The box and the text directly under it, exactly as shown in the app:

Text me a verification code
Msg & data rates may apply. Terms · Privacy Policy

“Terms” opens the SMS Terms (message frequency: one message each time a code is requested; STOP and HELP) and “Privacy Policy” opens the SMS Privacy Policy.

Ghost app Verify Phone Number screen: country, phone number field, an unchecked box labeled "Text me a verification code" with the text "Msg & data rates may apply." and Terms and Privacy Policy links, under it a separate, unchecked, optional box for Ghost marketing texts, and a disabled Request Code button.
The Verify Phone Number screen in the Ghost app, before the box is checked. The second box under it (“Send me Ghost offers and updates”) is optional and is for Ghost's marketing texts; it is not part of verification codes, and Request Code does not depend on it.

What you will receive

One text each time you request a verification code (for example, when you tap Request Code or Resend code), containing a one-time code. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.

Opt out and help

Codes are sent only when you request one, so no more texts arrive unless you ask for another code. On texts from Ghost's numbers (toll-free (844) 468-0267 or a Ghost local number), reply STOP to cancel, START to resubscribe and HELP for help. For help at any time, email support@joinghostapp.com.
