Your sender type, intended use, and messaging volume help determine the right route. Each option requires business and campaign information, evidence of recipient consent, and an appropriate review before sending.
OPTION 1 · LOCAL NUMBERSWhat is 10DLC?
A2P 10DLC lets businesses send application-generated messages from local 10-digit USA numbers. It suits customer updates, reminders, and notifications where a familiar local number matters.
Brand and campaign registration supports business messaging from a registered sender. Sending capacity depends on your campaign, registration, carrier requirements, and any additional vetting.
Approval process
Prepare your brand and campaign details for registration through The Campaign Registry (TCR). Include sample messages, a clear opt-in journey, HELP responses, and STOP/CANCEL handling with campaign-level opt-out records. Review times depend on the submission and any follow-up requests.
