Pre-requisites: Creating A Telnyx Account and Telnyx Level 2 Verification
A2P 10DLC can have a significant impact on how you use the Dialer with Telnyx services.
What is 10DLC?
10 Digit Long Code (10DLC) is a new industry standard that governs application-to-person (A2P) texting using traditional 10-digit phone numbers. By complying with 10DLC, your business can leverage higher messaging throughput levels over 10-digit phone numbers, making them more suitable for running large SMS or MMS campaigns.
There are two important requirements under the new A2P 10DLC system:
Brand Registration: Businesses must identify who they are to the carrier networks.
Campaign Registration: Businesses must register the type of messages they are sending, such as notifications.
