Why utility providers ask this
Outages generate a call centre queue within minutes. It usually surfaces the first time a real list goes out, when outage notices, restoration updates and meter reminders stop being a plan and become a send.
What it changes for you
Get this right and the outcome is calls avoided by telling people first. Get it wrong and the cost shows up quietly, in messages nobody read and money already spent.
Doing it in the platform
The compose screen shows the segment count, the cost and the sender name before anything leaves, so the decision is made before the money moves.

FAQ
Do I need an unsubscribe line?
For marketing, yes. One short instruction is enough, and the request must be honoured before the next send goes out.
Is this different for utility providers?
The mechanics are the same. What changes is the volume and the timing, because utility providers mostly send outage notices, restoration updates and meter reminders.
