FAQ

What is 10DLC, and why do I need to register?

10DLC stands for 10-digit long code. It is a standard local type of phone number used for texting (SMS/MMS) in the United States. 10DLC registration means that your local US number is registered with the Campaign Registry (TCR) and approved by US carriers for texting. This process is designed to ensure a positive and secure consumer experience and protect the performance of your text campaigns. The goal of 10DLC registration is to ensure consumers get the messages they want and that bad actors (spammers and fraudsters) do not harm them.

After submitting your 10DLC registration form, the Prestige Marketing team will review it and forward to the Campaign Registry for approval within one business day. It usually takes up to 7 business days to get your 10DLC brand and campaign approved. The Prestige Marketing team cannot expedite this time frame because the Campaign Registry handles the approval process.

We will email you as soon as we have news about the status of your 10DLC application. While you’re waiting for approval, you can check the 10DLC registration page for status updates.

Prestige Marketing will cover all one-time costs for your 10DLC brand + campaign vetting. The first month is free, later, you will need to pay $15 monthly for the 10DLC campaign renewal.

The difference between the two is that a toll-free number has a distinct three-digit code (for example, 800). A 10DLC number, on the other hand, has a region-specific area code associated with it that might be recognizable to the recipient. We recommend the toll-free number because it covers the broadest range of use cases for messaging in the USA and Canada. The toll-free verification is free and usually takes 2 business days. 10DLC registration is also free, however, it takes up to 7 business days.

At the moment, Prestige Marketing offers the following 11 standard campaign types.

  • 2FA – any authentication, verification, or one-time passcode.
  • Account notifications – standard notifications to account holders relating to or being about an account.
  • Customer care – all customer care interactions, including account management and customer support.
  • Delivery notifications – notifications about the delivery status of a product or service.
  • Fraud alert messaging – notifications about potential fraudulent activity on a user’s account.
  • Higher education – message campaigns from colleges, universities, and other educational institutions.
  • Marketing – any communication that includes marketing or promotional content.
  • Mixed – any messaging campaign containing 2–5 standard use cases.
  • Polling and voting – the sending of surveys and polling or voting campaigns for non-political arenas.
  • Public service announcement – information messaging to raise an audience’s awareness about important matters.
  • Security alert – a notification that the security of a system, either software or hardware, has been compromised in some way and that action must be taken.

Unfortunately, that is not possible. Prestige Marketing does not support transfers of 10DLC registrations from other suppliers.
