ABOUT A2P 10DLC
In August 2023, US phone carriers put controls in place to prevent companies from spamming and cold calling.
If you are based in the US number or messaging contacts who live there, it is a mandatory that you must register your business so that you are A2P 10DLC compliant. Businesses must identify who they are to the carrier networks (Brand registration) and what type of messages they are sending (Campaign Registration).
Any messages sent using unregistered phone numbers will be blocked by carriers (but you will still be charged for sending the message).
A2P 10DLC Registration Checklist
Before you start your A2P 10DLC registration, you must set up an example landing page which contains a compliant form and a link to your privacy policy. Your privacy policy can either be a webpage or a PDF stored in your media library, but it must state how you will use contact's data (eg, that no mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes).
