A new industry-wide text messaging solution called 10DLC (10-digit long code) is available to companies that use local virtual numbers to text customers in the US. After your campaign and brand have been approved, using a 10DLC number will guarantee that the people you intend to reach with your text messages receive them.
All companies that send text messages to clients in the US are required to register for the 10DLC. Your text messages won’t reach your customers’ phones because spam filters will block them if you don’t register for 10DLC.
Additionally, sending non-compliant SMS traffic may result in fines or penalties from US telecom carriers.
Within one business day of your 10DLC registration being submitted through the Textmagic self-service web app, the Textmagic team will review the form and send it to the Campaign Registry for approval.
After that, brand vetting takes about three business days, and campaign verification can take up to five weeks. The Campaign Registry handles the approval process, so the Textmagic team is unable to expedite this time frame.
As soon as there is any updates regarding the status of your 10DLC application, our staff will promptly send you an email. Please check the 10DLC overview page for updates on the status in the interim.
There are upfront fees as well as periodic charges associated with registering for a 10DLC. These expenses will be subtracted from the balance of your Textmagic account once the registration form has been completed. Not Textmagic, but the Campaign Registry implies the fees.
$50 for brand registration and vetting (one-time charge)
Registration for the campaign: $35 every three months
Monthly cost: $10

In an effort to combat fraud and spam, the industry is switching to 100% registered messaging traffic. It is required to register. You cannot skip it. Infractions will result in lost service, large fines, and blocked traffic.
Any SMS campaigns that don’t follow the 10DLC guidelines risk being suspended or blocked by Textmagic, the Campaign Registry, and U.S. carriers. If a campaign or brand is blocked, there are no reimbursements given.
Regretfully, it isn’t feasible. Transfers of 10DLC registrations from other suppliers are not supported by Textmagic.
