Hey TEK Circle ! 👋 If you’ve been hearing about A2P 10DLC (Application-to-Person 10-Digit Long Code) but don’t know where to start, don’t sweat it – I’ve got your back. Today, we’re diving into the self-setup process so you can keep your text campaigns flowing without the headaches. 😎 Why A2P 10DLC Matters 💡 📱 If you send business texts, carriers now require your numbers to be registered to reduce spam and improve deliverability. Without registration, you risk getting your texts filtered or blocked. No A2P = No Texting = No Customers = 😱 Step-by-Step Guide to Self-Register Your A2P: 1️⃣ Get Your Ducks in a Row 🦆 Make sure you have your business EIN (Employer Identification Number) handy. You’ll need it for registration. Know your use case : Are you sending promotions, appointment reminders, or something else? 2️⃣ Head Over to Your SMS Platform 📍 Platforms like GoHighLevel, Twilio, or other CRMs often have built-in A2P registration tools. Go to the A2P 10DLC registration section (it’s usually under “Settings” or “Phone Numbers”). 3️⃣ Fill in Your Business Details 📝 Enter: Business Name EIN / Tax ID Business Address Contact Info (Owner/Manager) 4️⃣ Define Your Campaign 📣 Select your campaign type (examples: “Marketing”, “Customer Care”, or “Notifications”). Add a description of the messages you’ll be sending. Pro Tip: Be clear and transparent to avoid delays! 5️⃣ Agree and Submit ✅ Review all your details and hit “Submit”. Depending on your provider, approval can take a few hours to a couple of days . 6️⃣ Assign Numbers to Campaigns 📲 Once approved, connect your 10-digit long code numbers to your new A2P campaigns. Boom! You're compliant. Things to Watch Out For 🔍 ⚠️ Incorrect info = delays. Double-check that your EIN matches your legal business name. ⚠️ Non-compliance = penalties. Stay away from spammy language in your texts. Keep it clean and customer-focused! Why Do It Yourself?
