What is A2P 10DLC?
A2P 10DLC refers to a system in the United States that allows businesses to send Application-to-Person (A2P) messages via standard 10-digit long code (10DLC) phone numbers. Carriers in the US consider all LC Phone traffic to be A2P, offering better delivery quality and lower filtering risk than long code SMS of the past.
What Do I Need to Do?
If you send messages to the United States using long code numbers, you have the following registration options based on your Tax ID status, volume, and use case:
Low Volume Standard Brands: For businesses with a Tax ID sending under 6,000 messages per day.
Standard Brands: For businesses with a Tax ID sending over 6,000 messages per day.
Sole Proprietor Brands: For individuals or small businesses without a Tax ID.
How Does A2P 10DLC Work?
Businesses must identify who they are to the carrier networks (Brand registration) and register the type of messages they send (Campaign registration). This process is done through LC Phone System Trust Center, integrated with The Campaign Registry (TCR) for compliance.
