Initiate A2P 10DLC registration means opening the Campaign Service Provider (CSP) workflow that posts brand and campaign records to The Campaign Registry (TCR). Starting the wizard before the evidence package is ready produces pending files that later reject.
Do This Before You Click Start
- Confirm US 10-Digit Long Code (10DLC) Application-to-Person (A2P) is the correct path
- Copy legal name and tax identifier from official records
- Publish SMS language on privacy and terms pages
- Select one use case
- Draft two samples with brand name and STOP
- Capture the live opt-in
- Assign an authorized contact who can answer vetting questions
Then Initiate
- Open the CSP A2P 10DLC section.
- Create the brand.
- Wait for the trust score.
- Create the campaign.
- Stop production sends until both statuses approve.
Twilio, Bandwidth, Vonage, and others use different button labels. The order stays brand, then campaign, then number mapping.
FAQ
Where do I initiate A2P 10DLC registration?
In the CSP account that owns the numbers.
Should I initiate on a trial account?
Only if that account holds the correct legal entity and will remain the production CSP. Do not file throwaway brands.
