Text Registration and 10DLC: What Is it?

Texting numbers, known in the tech world as ’10DLC’ (10-Digit Long Code), are phone numbers that can either be registered or unregistered. This system is specifically designed to improve carrier visibility of a brand so that it can offer it benefits in exchange for transparency. Benefits include deliverability and reduce costs while maintaining compliance with carrier requirements.

Compliance and Best Practices

To maintain compliance with telecom regulations, ensure your brand name is set effectively under “Settings -> Text Settings -> Text brand name. You may not make your MMS media file a menu or with cannabis product within it. Failure to comply could result in a ban across all telecom platforms, with limited options for re-registration. You may update your text brand name if you wish but your MMS media file can contain your brand name / logo. Logos with illegal content pictured around it are not allowed at this time.
