Business Texting (SMS) and 10DLC Registration

Customers answer texts faster than calls or email. Carriers block texts that are not registered.

Texting customers from your business number can cut no-shows, speed up quotes and get invoices paid. But since February 2025, carriers block business texts on regular 10-digit numbers unless the business and its use are registered through 10DLC. We compare texting platforms and walk you through registration.

The short answer

What is 10DLC registration?

10DLC is the system US carriers use for business text messages sent from regular 10-digit phone numbers. A business registers its brand, tied to its EIN, and each campaign, meaning the type of messages it sends and how people opted in, through The Campaign Registry. Carriers then review it. Since February 3, 2025, unregistered 10DLC business traffic is blocked. Registration takes a few days to a few weeks and depends on accurate business details and a clear opt-in process.

Why registrations get rejected

Problem What reviewers see Fix
Name does not match IRS records Brand details cannot be verified Use the exact legal name and EIN
No visible opt-in No proof people agreed to texts A web form with an unchecked, optional consent box and the required wording
Missing privacy and texting terms No statement that mobile numbers are not shared Privacy Policy and Text Messaging Terms pages linked from the form
Vague campaign description Unclear what will be sent Specific use, sample messages with STOP and HELP language
Website not live or does not match Business cannot be confirmed A working site that shows the same business details

Texting the right way

  • Get consent first. Text only people who agreed, or who texted you first about their own request.
  • Say who you are. Start conversations with your business name.
  • Make it easy to stop. Honor STOP right away and answer HELP with your contact details.
  • Keep records. Store when and how each person opted in.
  • Avoid shortened links. Use links on your own domain.

Texting with your phone system

Most businesses get the best results when texting lives in the same place as calls: a cloud phone system or contact center platform with texting built in, so every conversation is on the customer’s record. If you already use Microsoft Teams, ask about texting options that work with Teams Phone.

Business texting questions

Straight answers. If yours is not here, call or text us.

Why are our business texts not being delivered?

The most common reason is missing or rejected 10DLC registration. Since February 3, 2025, carriers block unregistered business texts sent from 10-digit numbers. Other causes are content that looks like spam, links from URL shorteners, or texting people who did not opt in.

What do we need to register?

Your exact legal business name and EIN as they appear on IRS records, a business website, a description of what you will text, sample messages, and proof of how people agree to receive texts, such as a website form with a consent checkbox.

Can we text people who called us or are on our customer list?

Only if they agreed to receive texts from you. Consent rules for texting are strict, and carriers ask how you collected it. Texting purchased lists or cold prospects gets numbers blocked.

Can we text from our existing business number?

Usually, yes. Most cloud phone systems and texting platforms can enable texting on numbers you already have, once registration is approved.

Is texting covered under HIPAA for medical offices?

Appointment reminders are common, but texts that include health information need a platform that will sign a business associate agreement and appropriate safeguards. See our HIPAA cybersecurity page.
