10DLC​

• 10DLC (10-Digit Long Code) compliance is a framework where businesses must register their 10-digit long code phone numbers and text messaging campaigns with The Campaign Registry (TCR) to send high-volume Application-to-Person (A2P) messages in the US and Canada. This process identifies businesses as legitimate senders, reduces spam, improves message deliverability, and helps carriers comply with regulations to protect consumers. Key steps include creating a verified brand, registering specific messaging campaigns, and ensuring adherence to consent and opt-in rules. 

​

What is 10DLC?​

• 10DLC refers to standard 10-digit phone numbers used for business-to-customer (A2P) messaging. It's the sanctioned pathway for businesses to send high-volume text and multimedia (MMS) messages using a local, recognizable phone number. 

​

Why is 10DLC Compliance Required?​

• Major US and Canadian mobile carriers (like AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile) mandated 10DLC compliance to combat the rise of spam and unsolicited messages sent by businesses. 

​

Benefits of Compliance

• Reduced Spam: It helps carriers and consumers identify legitimate businesses and differentiate them from spammers. 

• Improved Deliverability: Compliant businesses experience fewer message blocks and filters, ensuring messages reach their intended recipients. 

• Enhanced Consumer Trust: By providing transparency and verifiable origins for messages, 10DLC builds trust between businesses and customers. 

• Legal Adherence: It ensures businesses follow regulations regarding sender identification, consent, and opt-out rules, avoiding penalties.
