In today’s digital landscape, businesses heavily rely on SMS messaging to stay connected with their audience. Whether it’s sending promotional offers, appointment reminders, or transactional updates, SMS remains one of the most direct and effective communication channels. However, with increasing regulations and consumer protection measures, businesses can no longer send messages indiscriminately, especially in the U.S. where compliance with the A2P 10DLC (Application-to-Person 10-Digit Long Code) system is now mandatory.
For companies using GoHighLevel to automate and manage their client interactions, the A2P verification process can seem like a daunting task. But don’t worry — as The GoHighLevel Expert, I have the knowledge, systems, and documentation in place to guide businesses through this regulatory maze and ensure their SMS campaigns are fully compliant. In fact, I can help you get A2P approval in as little as 5 business days.
The A2P 10DLC: What You Need to Know
The introduction of the A2P 10DLC system by U.S. carriers is designed to regulate business text messaging, reduce spam, and enhance message deliverability for legitimate businesses. If you want to use SMS for business purposes in the U.S., compliance is not just recommended — it’s required.
Here’s why A2P 10DLC compliance is so important:
- Improved Message Deliverability: Without A2P verification, your messages risk being blocked or filtered out by carriers, meaning they may never reach your customers.
- Legal Compliance: Businesses that send messages without A2P verification risk penalties and even suspension by carriers.
- Reputation Management: Non-compliant messages can tarnish your business’s reputation and decrease trust in your brand.
The Complexities of A2P Verification
The process for A2P 10DLC registration involves multiple steps and requires businesses to gather detailed information about their brand, campaign types, and intended messaging purposes. The submission involves three key phases:
-
Brand Registration: The first step is registering your business’s brand with the carriers. You’ll need to provide information like your business name, address, tax ID (EIN), and sometimes even proof of incorporation. This ensures that your business is legitimate and authorized to send messages via A2P 10DLC routes.
-
Campaign Use Case Registration: Once your brand is verified, each messaging use case — whether it’s marketing, customer notifications, or transactional alerts — must be registered as a campaign. Carriers want to know what types of messages you’ll be sending, how frequently, and to whom. This is a critical step, as it helps protect consumers from spam while ensuring your business adheres to all relevant rules.
-
Carrier Approval: Once the information is submitted, the registration is reviewed by carriers. Only after approval can your business start sending A2P messages using 10-digit long codes.
For businesses navigating this process for the first time, it can be a logistical nightmare. Missing documentation, incomplete submissions, or misunderstandings about the requirements can delay approval for weeks — if not longer. Plus, any incorrect data could trigger costly re-submissions or penalties.
