10DLC Business Registration
TextingOnly provides a one-time registration service for businesses that want to register their brands with carriers so that their messages are not marked as SPAM.
Not properly registering your number can lead to blocked and/or filtered text messages. Let us help ensure that your critical messaging reaches it intended targets.
What is A2P 10DLC?
A2P (application-to-person) 10DLC (10-digit long code) is a standard created by US telecom carriers to ensure that SMS messages sent to US end-users through long-code phone numbers are both legitimate and wanted. Phone numbers are ten digits including area code and the remaining seven digits to complete the total of 10.
Why is 10DLC Important?
Texting for business purposes is becoming more and more commonplace, so mobile carriers have implemented regulations to ensure texting compliance and reduce SPAM. 10DLC is the new industry-led long code solution for North American A2P business messaging.
With 10DLC, businesses can send A2P type messaging via standard 10DLC phone numbers, and the system ultimately allows for better delivery quality and lower filtering risk of texts used for business purposes.
Simple, Straightforward Process
This service is ideal for businesses that send a limited number of text messages to consumers each month. The registration process is simple and straightforward.
Businesses simply need to provide some basic information about their company for this service. TextingOnly will then register the business’s brand with the carriers and provide them with a dedicated phone number for sending text messages.

Differences Between Brand & Campaign Registration
A brand is a name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature that identifies and distinguishes an organization’s products or services from those of its competitors. A campaign is a series of coordinated marketing activities that are designed to achieve a specific goal, such as increasing brand awareness, generating leads, or driving sales.
The main difference between registering a campaign and registering a brand is that a campaign is temporary, while a brand is intended to be long-lasting. A campaign is typically used to promote a specific product or service, while a brand is used to represent the overall identity of an organization.
When registering a campaign, you will need to provide information about the campaign, such as the name of the campaign, the purpose of the campaign, and the target audience for the campaign. This registration process is provided in the TextingOnly Dashboard, after your account is created.
Carrier Registration
Carrier registration is the process of verifying your business with a mobile carrier to avoid being marked as SPAM. This is a requirement for businesses that want to send text messages to consumers in the U.S.
To register your business with a carrier, you will need to provide the following information:
- Your business name and address
- Your business phone number and business email address
- Your business tax identification number (EIN)
- Your state registration information
- Your certificate of good standing
TextingOnly provides this Registration Process electronically in the TextingOnly dashboard.
Campaign Registration
This is included in TextingOnly’s monthly service that connects registered businesses to campaigns with carriers and ensures that messages are not marked as SPAM.
TextingOnly provides this service as part of each product, and includes:
- Registration of your campaign with the Campaign Registry
- Creation of a 10DLC brand
- Registration of your campaign use case
- Provision of a dedicated phone number for your campaign
- Monthly updates with carriers to ensure your brand is trusted and your messages are delivered
TextingOnly SMS numbers are automatically registered as campaigns and associated your registered brand.

Who needs to register?
If you send messages to the United States using long code numbers, you will need to register for a 10DLC brand. The registration options that you have will depend on your tax ID status, volume, and use case.
- If you have a tax ID (EIN) and send under 6,000 message segments per day, you should re-register for a Low Volume Standard Brand.
- If you have a tax ID (EIN) and send 6,000 or more message segments per day, you should register for a Standard Brand.
- If you do not have a tax ID (EIN), you should register for a Sole Proprietor Brand.
