Most landline telephone numbers and toll-free numbers can be activated. Some VoIP numbers, and of course mobile numbers cannot.

If your number is eligible and verified, activating it is a simple process that only takes minutes.

If your number business landline, VoIP or toll-free number is eligible, the next step is to verify that your business is the owner of the number(s) to be activated.

What is 10DLC?


What is 10DLC?


 Register your business

Important changes are taking place in the text messaging industry around business-to-consumer text messaging. All businesses using 10-digit long codes for text messaging must register.

As you’ve probably experienced first-hand, texting from local phone numbers has grown increasingly popular over the past few years, and we’re not surprised! It’s the preferred way for customers to communicate with businesses and vice versa. US carriers want to make sure it stays that way – a channel customers can trust, that’s free of spam and unsolicited communications. Nobody wants it to go the way of fax or email.

To help accomplish that goal, the cellular carriers are introducing a new set of standards and registration processes for 10DLC numbers (“10-digit long code” - the fancy term for your local landline or VoIP number) designed to support higher message speed, improve deliverability and increase sending trust across the 10DLC texting channel.

It is important that you take action and register your number(s) in order to avoid potential 10DLC fees and future disruption of service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does A2P 10DLC mean?

10DLC stands for “10-digit long code.” This refers to 10-digit, local phone numbers (a regular landline as opposed to a toll-free number) used to send messages between businesses and consumers. 10DLC includes VoIP numbers as well.

Do I have to register my 10DLC number?

Yes, all 10DLC numbers (landlines and VoIP) are now required to register by all U.S. mobile carriers. 

How do I Register?

Go to To register your number(s).

How can I tell if my business has already been registered?

Call or Text us at 850-205-1111 or Email us at Success@TextBox.cc

Can TextBox/Line1 just register for me?

Each customer must complete their business registration themselves in order to ensure accuracy of information submitted.

Will I notice any changes in service once I register?

You should not notice any change in service if you register for 10DLC. As always, we recommend following proper texting guidelines documented in our Terms of Use.

What “service disruption” might I experience if I don't register?

Some carriers will stop supporting texting traffic from non-registered 10DLC numbers. This means that if you send a text message to a customer on this carrier, the message could fail. You will see the same error message that you would see if you tried to text a non-text-enabled landline.

Will I need to re-register every year?

Annual registration will be required, however once you submit your information, we will handle the annual renewal process.

There will not be an annual renewal fee if your business information has not changed.

What are the referenced "10DLC fees"?

These are still being determined. We will let you know as soon as details are available.

My industry or vertical isn't listed in the registration form dropdown menu. Which option should I choose?

Please choose the industry or vertical that most closely matches your business type.

Who is the organization you'll be sharing my information with?

The Campaign Registry is a third-party enlisted by all U.S. wireless carriers to conduct the vetting for brand and campaign registration. You can learn more about The Campaign Registry here.

Their mission is “to provide a simplified, fair, and unbiased service by working with carriers, messaging companies and industry partners to establish common standards for A2P 10DLC messaging.”

Does this registration requirement apply to all business texting providers?

Yes, this is a universal change for all business texting providers.

I have a toll-free number, short-code and/or (non-Canadian) international number. Do these registration requirements still apply?

No. Toll-free numbers and short codes are regulated differently. Businesses with toll-free numbers must submit a Letter of Authorization proving ownership of that number’s texting rights. Then they are individually verified by a member of the Support team.

My business is registered in Canada. Do I still need to register?

In order to send messages to any customer served by a U.S. carrier, you will need to register with The Campaign Registry using your Canadian Business Number (BN).

I already registered my business through another texting provider. Will I need to register again?

Yes, you will still need to register through TextBox even if you’ve already registered through another provider.

I was an AT&T Landline Texting customer and didn't have to register then. Why do I have to register now?

The new 10DLC standards have been recently adopted by the carriers. Starting in 2021, all users of 10DLC will be required to register and pay the corresponding fees.

Do non-profit organizations need to register?

Yes, non-profit organizations should simply select the ‘non-profit’ option under business type in the registration form.
