Regulations
10DLC
10-Digit Long Code — a US regulation requiring businesses to register their phone numbers and messaging campaigns before sending SMS through carriers.
10DLC (10-Digit Long Code) is a regulatory system in the United States that requires businesses to register their brand and messaging campaigns with The Campaign Registry (TCR) before sending application-to-person (A2P) SMS through 10-digit phone numbers.
Why 10DLC Matters
- Required by US carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon) since 2023
- Registration costs $4-15/month per campaign
- Unregistered traffic gets blocked or heavily filtered
- Takes days to weeks to get approved
MySMSGate Advantage
MySMSGate bypasses 10DLC entirely because messages are sent from your personal phone's SIM card as P2P (person-to-person) messages, not A2P. No registration, no campaign approval, no monthly fees.
