A2P 10DLC

Important registration requirement for A2P 10DLC messaging, which is essential for ensuring the continued delivery of your application-to-person (A2P) text messages.  As you may already be aware, A2P 10DLC is a messaging framework introduced by major mobile carriers in the United States to enhance the reliability and deliverability of application-to-person SMS messages.

This is also part of the FCC’s recent initiative to limit texts from illegitimate numbers which have been exploding over the past few years.

To comply with the new requirements, it is imperative that you complete the registration quickly. Beginning  Sept 1, 2023, carriers have the right to block messages that come from unregistered phone numbers.

1. Business Profile Details: Please provide accurate and up-to-date information about your company, including contact details.
2. Brand Registration: Identify and register the brand(s) you intend to use for sending A2P messages. This includes providing brand names, business categories, and any relevant brand documentation.
