How to register for 10DLC and start sending messages

All businesses using Telnyx to send application-to-person (A2P) messages using 10-digit long code (10DLC) numbers in the US must comply with carrier-led rules by registering their traffic for 10DLC.

Telnyx offers a set of tools to make registering for 10DLC simple. Here's a look at the steps required to keep your business compliant with mobile carriers' rules, and avoid penalties and fines.

Note: these steps assume you already have a 10-digit long code phone number that you're using to send A2P messages in the US. If you don't already have a number, you can get started by purchasing one or porting one to Telnyx.
