How to Complete A2P 10DLC Registration in Practice by Numbers.
What is A2P 10DLC Registration?
A2P 10DLC registration is a new requirement that started in early 2022. It's meant to help phone carriers and regulators ensure that only legitimate messages are sent and to reduce spam and fraud.
Key Information:
Deadline: You must complete your 10DLC registration by March 31, 2023.
Impact: If you miss this deadline, your SMS messages might be blocked, and you could face fines.
Fees: Practice by Numbers will cover the registration fees if completed before the deadline. After March 31, 2023, you'll be responsible for the fees, which include a $4 Brand registration fee and a $15 campaign fee from The Campaign Registry (TCR).
