   • If you do not respond with approval within two hours of receiving the text message, the order will be cancelled.
     
   • If you are entering this on behalf of an employee, it is your responsibility to ensure they are aware of the mobile port confirmation text. They will need to respond with approval within two hours of receiving the text message before we can complete the order.
