10DLC registration law is a search that mixes two authorities. The Campaign Registry (TCR) 10DLC framework is a carrier and industry registry construct. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), 47 U.S.C. § 227, is a federal statute enforced by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and by private plaintiffs.
This page maps those layers. It is not legal advice.
Carrier and Industry Layer
Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) messaging principles and operator codes of conduct drive 10DLC enforcement. T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon can filter or suspend senders without an FCC proceeding.
Brand and campaign records live in TCR. Approval timing and throughput stay under operator discretion.
Federal Consent Layer
TCPA governs consent, opt-out, and covered calling or texting practices. Marketing A2P generally needs express written consent. Statutory damages start at $500 per message and rise to $1,500 for willful violations. Consent records should be retained four or more years.
A TCR campaign ID is not an FCC registration number and not a TCPA defense by itself.
State and Vertical Overlays
Healthcare, financial, insurance, and political programs can pick up additional state or sector rules. File the campaign that matches the real program, then have counsel read the overlay.
