Text message alerts

These texts go to our own support staff, not to visitors or customers.

What the texts are

When a visitor to this website asks the chat for a person, we send one text message to the E3D Pilot support team (currently one person). The message is one short fixed sentence, a link to the conversation in our help desk and the STOP instruction, and nothing else: it never contains the visitor's words or any personal information about them. These messages are not sent to website visitors, customers or the public, and nobody else can subscribe to them.

By texting START to (925) 940-5789 from your own mobile phone, you agree to receive text messages from FutCo LLC, doing business as E3D Pilot, alerting you when a website chat needs a person. Message type: support alerts. Message frequency: at most one message for each chat that needs a person, and no more than 10 a day for the whole team. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel at any time, or HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of any purchase or of working with us. See our Privacy Policy and Terms of service.
