Understanding the 10DLC A2P Landscape 🤓

Let’s start with the basics. 10DLC (10-Digit Long Code) refers to standard phone numbers used for A2P (Application-to-Person) messaging. This allows businesses to send texts via software solutions. The catch? You need to go through a rigorous 10DLC registration process.

The Approval Process: Brand and Campaign Registration ✅

The approval process consists of two key steps:

• Brand Registration: This step is generally straightforward. You provide your business information (legal name, EIN, etc.) to verify your legitimacy.
• Campaign Registration: This is where things get tricky. DCAs (Direct Connect Aggregators) manually review your campaign submissions, focusing on:
  • Call to action and message flow
  • Website opt-in forms and language
  • Privacy policy and SMS terms

The Templating Solution 📝

To overcome the challenges of manual reviews and inconsistent approvals, templating is crucial:

• Campaign Submission Templating: Use scripts or APIs to automate the population of campaign data, minimizing human error
• Website Templating: Ensure websites are verifiable and accurately reflect the opt-in process for each campaign

Actionable Insights 💡
