Below is everything you need to know about this process and how Phone2 helps you every step of the way.

What Is 10DLC and Why Registration Is Required?

10DLC numbers are local phone numbers enabled for SMS messaging. They’re a cost-effective way for businesses to send SMS at higher volumes while maintaining carrier compliance.

Carriers require registration through TCR to:

- Reduce Spam: Protect consumers by filtering out fraudulent and unwanted messages
- Increase Trust: Ensure that only verified businesses can send SMS, improving engagement rates
- Enhance Deliverability: Registered numbers have higher success rates for message delivery

❗ Without registration, unverified messages face higher risks of being flagged, delayed, or blocked.

What Is Needed to Register?

To register your number with TCR, you’ll need to provide the following:

- ✅ EIN Number
- ✅ Business Name or DBA (Doing Business As)
- ✅ Business Contact Information (email, phone, and address)
- ✅ A Description of SMS Use (e.g., appointment reminders, customer notifications)
- ✅ Example SMS Message Content

These details are used to verify your Brand and approve your SMS Campaign.

What Happens If You Don’t Register Your Number?

If you don’t register your number for outbound SMS, your service will still function — with the exception of sending messages. Here’s what you need to know:

You can still receive SMS without limitation

Your Phone2 number will continue to receive incoming text messages, even if you haven’t completed SMS registration. There’s no impact on your phone number’s core functionality or ability to receive communication.

Outbound SMS is activated automatically after registration

Once you complete the 10DLC registration and pay the TCR fees, your outbound SMS capability will be enabled — usually within 24 hours. Brand verification is often instant if accurate business information (EIN, legal name, etc.) is submitted. However, typos or incorrect data can delay or prevent automatic approval, which may postpone SMS activation.

You can register at any time

If you’re not ready to register now, no problem. You can come back and complete the process anytime — outbound SMS will be re-enabled automatically once verification is successful.
