10DLC stands for 10-digit long code, allowing businesses to send application-to-person text messages (A2P) using local long codes in the U.S.

The U.S. mobile carriers require all businesses that send A2P messages on a 10DLC phone number to register their brand and campaign with a chosen campaign service provider. If a business decides not to register its brand and continues using its 10DLC phone number, it will eventually experience service disruption.

The 10DLC applies to U.S. businesses that send A2P traffic over long codes. 

The Screen Magic 10DLC requires businesses to register a campaign and brand (business name) to increase transparency regarding who is sending what. 

You can fill out this form by providing your campaign and brand details. 

Every brand has to submit campaign use cases. With these use cases, the brand has to submit the sample message content and other messaging attributes like opt-in, opt-out, support keywords, etc. Refer to this link for more information.

You need to contact your number provider. The 10DLC registration process needs to be completed by them. For more information, you can get in touch with us at care@sms-magic.com

You don’t need to buy new numbers if you already use long code numbers. By following the registration process, you can enable your existing numbers to use the new A2P 10DLC service.
