                                                                 STOPALL  |

Only single-word messages will trigger the opt-out. For example, replying "STOP" will stop the contact or candidate from receiving messages from that  number, but replying "STOP PLEASE" or "PLEASE CANCEL" will not.
We recommend including a version of the following in any text that you send: "Opt out by replying STOP".
