F.A.Qs
No. Your VoIP/SMS provider files TCR registration. mytcrplus.com provides the supporting website infrastructure that carriers review during approval. We supply documentation; your provider submits it.
Basic: 5 business days. Standard/Plus: 2-3 business days. Timeline starts after you provide branding materials and messaging program details.
No compliance service can guarantee outcomes. Final approval rests with carriers evaluating your specific use case, message content, and consent practices. mytcrplus.com eliminates common rejection causes—inadequate documentation, website gaps, brand inconsistencies—but cannot control carrier-specific evaluation criteria.
Standard/Plus plans include rejection support. We analyze rejection feedback, identify required microsite changes, and update documentation for resubmission. Rejection Remediation Package ($149) available for Basic tier.
Depends on your provider's offerings. Many VoIP/SMS providers file TCR registrations but don't build compliance microsites. If your provider requires you to supply a website URL with privacy policy, consent documentation, and sample messages, mytcrplus.com fills that gap. Check with your provider first.
Yes, cancel anytime with 30 days notice. However, ongoing hosting, regulatory monitoring, and compliance documentation are valuable post-approval. Carriers conduct periodic audits; maintaining current documentation reduces audit risk.
No. We do not file TCR registrations, send messages, or act as a CSP. We provide documentation infrastructure that supports your CSP's registration process.
