A2P 10DLC & Responsible Business Messaging

Brand identification, campaign transparency, and recipient choice are central to responsible business messaging in the United States.

The U.S. messaging ecosystem

Clear business identity. Clear messaging purpose.

A2P 10DLC is an important part of the U.S. business messaging ecosystem. Brand identification, campaign registration, consumer consent, and responsible messaging practices play essential roles in supporting compliant application-to-person communications.

TextLattice emphasizes the importance of accurate business information, transparent messaging use cases, and customer-specific compliance requirements.

For messaging over U.S. ten-digit local numbers, businesses should discuss registration requirements and review procedures with their authorized messaging provider. The applicable provider process determines registration decisions and service conditions.

Core compliance considerations

Six areas of accountability.

Each business has its own messaging purpose, audience, and provider requirements. These considerations help structure a focused compliance conversation.

  1. 01

    Brand Identification

    Identify the actual business behind the messages. Legal entity information, company website, and the recognizable sender should describe the same organization.

  2. 02

    Campaign Registration Requirements

    Document the messaging purpose, representative content, recipient consent pathway, and support practices required by the applicable provider’s registration process.

  3. 03

    Consumer Consent

    Explain the sender, message purpose, and relevant program terms clearly. Maintain appropriate records of how recipients agreed to receive that business’s messages.

  4. 04

    Opt-Out Management

    Provide accessible ways to withdraw permission, including applicable STOP handling, and maintain the suppression and support processes relevant to the program.

  5. 05

    Messaging Use Case Transparency

    Keep the described campaign, message content, sender identity, and recipient experience aligned. Material changes should be reviewed through the applicable provider process.

  6. 06

    Business Verification

    Use accurate company information and an authorized business contact. The end business is responsible for its own identity, disclosures, and supporting records.

Business-specific requirements

Start with the sender and the recipient experience.

A useful discussion covers your business identity, the messages you intend to send, the full consent pathway, and how recipients can get help or opt out. TextLattice welcomes business and provider conversations about these requirements and the responsibilities of each participant.
