The Basics

What Is A2P 10DLC?

A2P means application-to-person messaging. 10DLC means a standard US 10-digit long-code number. A2P 10DLC is the registration framework used for business messaging over US local numbers.

Why It Matters

Local Business Messaging Requires an Approved Registration Path

Registration is generally required for application-to-person traffic over US local 10-digit numbers. Requirements may vary by provider, number type, use case, and carrier.

Business Identity Verification

Business Identity Verification

Carriers review brand registration and EIN verification so messaging is tied to a real business identity.

Messaging-Use-Case Declaration

Messaging-Use-Case Declaration

Campaign registration declares why the business sends messages and what recipients should expect.

Sample Messages and Consent Details

Sample Messages and Consent Details

Sample messages, opt-in explanations, and opt-out handling help reviewers understand the real messaging workflow.

Number Association and Accountability

Number Association and Accountability

Approved numbers are associated with the registered campaign so traffic stays connected to the declared use case.

A2P 10DLC is not a government license. Toll-free and short-code messaging follow different registration frameworks.

The TextTorrent Registration Workflow

Prepare Brand and Campaign Registration in One Guided Process

TextTorrent helps teams gather business information, EIN documentation, brand details, campaign use cases, sample messages, opt-in explanations, and next-step number assignment—then submit for external review.

How It Works

How to Complete A2P 10DLC Registration with TextTorrent

Use a clear preparation sequence so business details, documentation, use-case description, and samples are accurate before external review.

01

Enter Legal Business Information

Provide accurate legal business name, address, entity details, EIN, website, and contact information that match official records.

02

Upload the EIN Document

Provide an accepted IRS-issued EIN confirmation document when verification is required. The document should clearly show the legal business name, EIN, and address.

03

Register the Brand

Submit the business identity through the brand registration process so carriers can verify who is sending messages.

04

Describe the Messaging Use Case

Accurately describe why the business sends messages, who receives them, and what content is included. Vague descriptions delay approval.

05

Provide Sample Messages and Opt-In Details

Share examples that match production messaging and explain how recipients consent, stop messages, and request help.

06

Submit for Review

Submit the registration for external registry, provider, and carrier review. TextTorrent does not control or guarantee approval outcomes.

07

Assign Numbers After Approval

After approval, connect supported local numbers to the approved campaign and confirm readiness before production messaging.

Business Verification

Use the Exact Information Connected to the EIN

Registration details should match official business records. Exact matching reduces avoidable delays.

A website or email does not guarantee approval. Accuracy and consistency across the registration package matter more.

EIN Verification

Prepare an Accepted IRS EIN Document

An accepted IRS-issued EIN confirmation document may be required for verification. Confirm the exact accepted document types in your registration workflow or with TextTorrent support.

Document should show

  • Legal business name
  • EIN
  • Business address
  • IRS-issued information
  • Clear, readable text

Common document problems

  • Screenshot cropped too tightly
  • Blurry image
  • Missing legal name
  • Missing EIN
  • Address mismatch
  • Edited or altered document
  • Incorrect business entity
  • Unrelated tax document

Do not upload customer documents containing real sensitive data into demo screenshots. Keep production uploads private to the account owner.

Verification Accuracy

Match the Registration Details to Official Business Records

Mismatches may delay review, require additional documentation, or result in rejection. Correct issues before resubmission.

Legal Name Mismatch

Legal Name Mismatch

The registration uses a shortened brand name instead of the official LLC or corporation name shown on official records.

Address Mismatch

Address Mismatch

The submitted address differs from the official business record or IRS document.

EIN Mismatch

EIN Mismatch

The EIN belongs to another entity or is entered incorrectly.

Entity-Type Mismatch

Entity-Type Mismatch

The registration identifies the wrong legal entity structure.

Website Mismatch

Website Mismatch

The website is incomplete, inaccessible, or does not clearly connect to the registered business.

Messaging Purpose

Describe the Messages the Business Will Actually Send

The campaign use case should accurately describe the business workflow. Generic language such as “marketing messages” is commonly rejected.

Example use-case description

The business sends follow-up messages, application-status updates, document reminders, and appointment notifications to customers who submitted a form and expressly agreed to receive text messages.

This example is educational. Adapt it to the business’s actual messaging workflow.

Message Examples

Provide Samples That Match the Registered Use Case

Sample messages should identify the brand, match the use case, and include opt-out language where applicable.

Real Estate

Hi [First Name], this is [Company Name]. A new property is available in [Area]. View details here: [Link]. Reply STOP to opt out.

Mortgage

Hi [First Name], this is [Company Name]. We are still missing your [Document Name]. Please use the approved submission process to keep your application moving. Reply STOP to opt out.

Insurance

Merchant Cash Advance

Hi [First Name], this is [Company Name]. We received your request for business funding information. Reply here if you would like to discuss the next steps. Reply STOP to opt out.

Subscriber Consent

Explain Clearly How Recipients Agree to Receive Messages

The registration should describe the real opt-in process. Importing or possessing a phone number does not establish consent to send business text messages.

Importing or possessing a phone number does not establish consent to send business text messages.

Consent Example

Use Clear Consent Language Near the Phone-Number Field

The following wording is a clearly labeled educational example, not legal advice.

Example consent language

By submitting this form, you agree to receive text messages from [Company Name] regarding [specific purpose]. Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of purchase. View our Terms and Privacy Policy.

This example is not universally sufficient for every business or use case.

Customer Controls

Describe How Recipients Can Stop Messages or Request Help

Registration materials should explain how STOP and HELP requests are handled in the messaging program.

STOP

STOP

The contact requests to stop receiving messages. Opt-outs should be applied promptly, and suppressed contacts should not continue receiving campaign messages.

HELP

HELP

The contact requests information about the messaging program. Help responses should identify the business and provide support information.

Frequently Asked Questions

A2P 10DLC Registration Questions, Answered

Practical answers for businesses preparing brand and campaign registration with TextTorrent support.

A2P 10DLC registration is the business and campaign registration process for application-to-person messaging over US local 10-digit numbers. Businesses typically register the organization and the messaging campaign so carriers understand who is sending and what recipients should expect.

Businesses sending application-to-person traffic over US local numbers generally need appropriate registration. Requirements may vary by provider, number type, use case, and carrier. Toll-free and short-code messaging follow different frameworks.

TextTorrent currently offers registration support without a TextTorrent registration-support fee. External registry, provider, carrier, number, or messaging charges may still apply, and pricing can change.

An accepted IRS-issued EIN confirmation document may be required. Confirm the exact accepted document types in your registration workflow or with TextTorrent support before uploading. The document should clearly show the legal business name, EIN, and address.

Registration information is compared with official records. Legal-name, EIN, address, or entity mismatches may delay review or prevent approval and should be corrected before resubmission.

Campaign registration typically requires an accurate use case, sample messages, opt-in method, opt-out process, help process, and matching business information. Vague use cases and unclear opt-in explanations commonly delay approval.

Properly structured 10DLC submissions can be approved within days, while incomplete registrations may delay approval. Review times vary, and approval is not guaranteed by a specific date. Same-day or expedited approval is not claimed.

Review the rejection reason, compare submitted information with official records, correct documents or website details where needed, revise the use case and sample messages, then resubmit. TextTorrent cannot override an external rejection.

No. Approval is determined through external registration, provider, and carrier review. TextTorrent provides registration assistance and messaging tools, not approval authority or legal advice.

Production sending over US local numbers generally requires the appropriate registration path. Do not assume unregistered production traffic is permitted. Confirm current account and provider rules before sending.

Number capacity depends on account setup, registration context, campaign association, and available inventory. Exact numeric ceilings are not published on this page until current product policy is confirmed. Review your account or contact support before provisioning a large inventory.

No. Approval allows the business to use the registered messaging path, but delivery can still be affected by contact quality, content, number configuration, provider responses, carrier filtering, and other factors.
