Un-decline Text messages?

SmartApps & Automations
1

A user in my house doesn’t receive text messages for STHM, even though his phone is clearly listed in the app’s settings. I tried deleting his phone number and then putting back, but I receive a warning saying he “declined” messaging service in the past. I suspect he didn’t know why he was getting message at the very beginning, so he replied “stop” or something. That silenced his number. Is he forever condemned to Samsung’s No-Messages-for-YOU! list? Is there any way to undo this? A quick search in the forum posts didn’t uncover much.

Update: Texting the key word START to 844647 re-subscribes.

you can send a message to 844647 from a US number to start receiving messages

I would suspect that ST uses Twilio for SMS delivery as most companies do. You can read more here but from the article:
Recipients can disable this message stop, and resume receiving messages with the START , YES , or UNSTOP commands as outlined below.

So have that user reply to the same number that delivers your SMS messages with “start”

Worked! Thanks! Seems that texting anything to that number will re-enable. But the official key word is START.
