Phone Registration:

In 2023, new industry regulations were rolled out by phone carriers in an effort to reduce spam rates. The carriers banded together to form a regulatory process to register and monitor (and if necessary, restrict) how businesses communicate through messaging services. This regulation is known as A2P10DLC (Application to Person 10-Digit Long Code). Registration has been previously available, but will now be mandatory in the US if you wish to use messaging services.

You must "Register" your account. Without A2P approval text messages through local numbers will be blocked by phone carriers. Phone registration fees will fluctuate depending on your use case and sender reputation. Registration will ensure better deliverability.

Agent CRM has invested in a streamlined process for registration. You can now register your phone account directly through your account using Trust Center.

Find Trust Center under Settings > Phone Number > Trust Center. To ensure compliance and tips for registration, click the button below for a tutorial on how to use this tool or join us for a live call.
