What is 10DLC?

10DLC stands for “10 digit long code”. Also known as “commercial long codes”, these phone numbers are the new standard in A2P (Application-to-Person) text messaging for many organizations.

A2P 10DLC is the new standard for businesses to send messages in the United States. The larger carriers have all come to an agreement that any business will be considered A2P whether they are using application-to-person for the case of messaging.

To build trust with these carriers, businesses will have to register their brands and campaigns with a central organization called (TCR) The Campaign Registry [1].

Carriers and their role in 10DLC

  • Verizon launched their 10DLC program in February 2020 without a pre-registration requirement for A2P senders.
  • AT&T 10DLC registration process was available by the end of April 2021.
  • T-Mobile’s 10DLC route went live in April, 2021.

Since April 1, 2023 the carriers agreed to start enforcing the new rules and started to drop unsigned text messaging. This caused a massive influx of providers to sign up for messaging campaigns at the same time and has more than tripled the wait time for getting new campaigns approved
