Error code
30505: Toll Free verification rejection - Opt-in must be optional, not required
Correctable and resubmittable. Stated by: Twilio error page for this code.
What this error means
Consumers can't complete your main flow without agreeing to receive messages.
Causes, most likely first
- Consent required to create an account, buy, access services, or complete registration.
How to fix it
If your numbers are managed by a platform
If your numbers sit inside a reseller platform, for example LeadConnector numbers inside GoHighLevel, you do not have access to the Twilio Console, and the interface shows the rejection without the code. Ask that platform's support team for the Twilio rejection error code, in writing, before you change anything. You can also read it yourself from your browser, which is faster: see how to get the code.
The substance of the fix is yours to make: the business details, the website, and the opt-in flow described in the Twilio path all belong to you, not to the platform. Make those changes first, confirm they are live, then ask support to resubmit. A resubmission filed before the underlying facts change will fail again on the same reason.
If you own the Twilio account
Let users complete the primary action without opting in. Make it explicit that messaging consent is optional and separate. Use language that signals the choice ("Would you also like to receive.."). Make sure declining still lets them finish.
Timing and resubmission
Correctable, resubmit within seven days for priority review.
Two ways forward
Have it handled for you
A2P registration is handled for you on Growth at $597/mo and on Scale at $1,197/mo. Registration, resubmissions, and the compliance work behind them are included.
