### How does Azure Communication Services handle opt outs for toll-free numbers?
6161

6262
Opt outs for US toll-free numbers are mandated and enforced by US carriers and cannot be overridden.
6363
- **STOP** - If a text message recipient wishes to opt out, they can send ‘STOP’ to the toll-free number. The carrier sends the following default response for STOP: *"NETWORK MSG: You replied with the word "stop", which blocks all texts sent from this number. Text back "unstop" to receive messages again."*
6464
- **START/UNSTOP** - If the recipient wishes to resubscribe to text messages from a toll-free number, they can send ‘START’ or ‘UNSTOP’ to the toll-free number. The carrier sends the following default response for START/UNSTOP: *“NETWORK MSG: You have replied “unstop” and will begin receiving messages again from this number.”*
6565
- Azure Communication Services detects STOP messages and blocks all further messages to the recipient. The delivery report will indicate a failed delivery with status message as “Sender blocked for given recipient.”

- The STOP, UNSTOP and START messages will be relayed back to you. Azure Communication Services encourages you to monitor and implement these opt-outs to ensure that no further message send attempts are made to recipients who have opted out of your communications.
