# United States 10DLC registration
United States 10DLC registration

**Important**  
The following table has the expected times for each 10DLC registration step based on if your business is located in the United States or internationally.  


****  

| 10DLC registration step | US based companies | International based companies | 
| --- | --- | --- | 
| Register your brand/company | 1-2 business days | Up to 3 weeks | 
| Apply for vetting | 1-2 business days | Up to 3 weeks | 
| Register your campaign | Up to 4 weeks | Up to 4 weeks | 
| Request your 10DLC number | Up to 10 days | Up to 10 days | 

If you use AWS End User Messaging SMS to send messages to recipients in the United States or the US territories of Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa, you can use 10DLC phone numbers to deliver those messages. The abbreviation *10DLC* stands for "10-digit long code." A 10DLC phone number is registered for use by a single sender and for a single use case. This registration process gives the mobile carriers insight into the approved use cases for each phone number that is used to send messages. As a result, 10DLC phone numbers can offer high throughput and deliverability rates.

A message that you send from a 10DLC phone number appears on the devices of your recipients as a 10-digit phone number. You can use 10DLC phone numbers to send both transactional and promotional messages. If you already use short codes or toll-free numbers to send your messages, then you don't need to set up 10DLC.

To set up 10DLC, you first register your company or brand. You should then externally vet your 10DLC company to ensure you get the highest eligible throughput. Next, you create a *10DLC campaign*, which is a description of your use case. This information is then shared with the Campaign Registry, an industry organization that collects 10DLC registration information.

**Note**  
For more information about how the Campaign Registry uses your information, see the FAQ on the [Campaign Registry website](https://www.campaignregistry.com/resources/).

After your company and 10DLC campaign are approved, you can purchase a phone number and associate it with your 10DLC campaign. Associating a phone number with a 10DLC campaign can take approximately 14 days to complete. Although you can associate multiple phone numbers with a single campaign, you can't use the same phone number across multiple 10DLC campaigns. For each 10DLC campaign that you create, you must have at least one unique phone number. Throughput for 10DLC phone numbers is based on the company and campaign registration information that you provide. Each 10DLC number associated to a campaign supports 1 message part per second (MPS). In order to get the eligible throughput from your campaign applied to the associated 10DLC numbers, you need to submit a request to increase SMS sending rates.

If you have an existing unregistered long code in your AWS End User Messaging SMS account, you can request that it be converted to a 10DLC number. To convert an existing long code, complete the registration process, and then create a case in the AWS Support Center. In some situations, it isn't possible to convert an unregistered long code to a 10DLC phone number. In this case, you must request a new number through the AWS End User Messaging SMS console and associate it with your 10DLC campaign. For more information about using 10DLC with existing long codes, see [Associating a long code with a 10DLC campaign](registrations-10dlc-associate.md).

## 10DLC capabilities


**Note**  
**Important:** Brand registration and external brand vetting alone does not automatically increase the default of 1 MPS limit per number associated to an approved 10DLC campaign. In order to get the eligible throughput from your campaign applied to the associated 10DLC numbers, you need to submit a request to increase SMS sending rates.

The capabilities of 10DLC phone numbers depend on which mobile carriers your recipients use. AT&T provides a limit on the number of message parts that can be sent each minute for each campaign. T-Mobile provides a daily limit of messages that can be sent for each company, with no limit on the number of message parts that can be sent per minute. Verizon hasn't published throughput limits, but uses a filtering system for 10DLC that is designed to remove spam, unsolicited messages, and abusive content, with less emphasis on the actual message throughput.

New 10DLC campaigns that are associated with *unvetted* companies can send 75 message parts per minute to recipients who use AT&T, and 2,000 messages per day to recipients who use T-Mobile. The company limit is shared across all of your 10DLC campaigns. For example, if you have registered one company and two campaigns, the daily allotment of 2,000 messages to T-Mobile customers is shared across those campaigns. Similarly, if you register the same company in more than one AWS account, the daily allotment is shared across those accounts.

If your throughput needs exceed these limits, you can request that your company registration be vetted. When you vet your company registration, a third-party verification provider analyzes your company details. The verification provider then provides a vetting score, which determines the capabilities of your 10DLC campaigns. There is a one-time charge for the vetting service. For more information, see [10DLC brand vetting form](registrations-10dlc-vetting.md).

Your actual throughput rate will vary depending on various factors, such as whether or not your company has been vetted, your campaign types, and your vetting score. The following flowchart shows the throughput rates for various situations.

![\[Message throughput based on carrier and reputation.\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/sms-voice/latest/userguide/images/registrations-10dlc-capabilities.png)


Throughput rates for 10DLC are determined by the US mobile carriers in cooperation with the Campaign Registry. Neither AWS End User Messaging SMS nor any other SMS sending service can increase 10DLC throughput beyond these rates. If you need high throughput rates and high deliverability rates across all US carriers, we recommend that you use a short code. 

# 10DLC registration process


You can set up 10DLC directly in the AWS End User Messaging SMS console. To set up 10DLC, you must complete all of the following steps.

1. **Register your brand/company**

   The first step in setting up 10DLC is to register your company or brand. For information about company registration, see [10DLC brand registration form](registrations-10dlc-company.md). There is a one-time registration fee to register your company. This fee is shown on the registration page.

1. **(Optional, but recommended) Apply for vetting**

   If your company registration is successful, you can begin creating low-volume, mixed-use 10DLC campaigns. These campaigns can send 75 messages per minute to recipients who use AT&T, and your registered company can send 2,000 messages per day to recipients who use T-Mobile. If your use case requires a throughput rate that exceeds these values, you can apply for vetting of your company registration. Vetting your company registration can increase the throughput rates for your companies and campaigns, but it isn't guaranteed to do so. For more information about vetting, see [10DLC brand vetting form](registrations-10dlc-vetting.md).

1. **Register your campaign**

   If the Campaign Registry is able to verify the company information that you provided, you can create a 10DLC campaign. A 10DLC campaign contains information about your use case. Each 10DLC campaign can be associated with one company. AWS End User Messaging SMS sends this campaign information to the Campaign Registry for approval. In most cases, 10DLC campaign approval is instantaneous. In some cases, the Campaign Registry can require additional information. It can take up to 4 weeks to receive a response on if your 10DLC campaign was approved or needs to be revised. 

   You're charged a recurring monthly fee for each 10DLC campaign that you register. The monthly fee varies depending on your use case. The recurring fee for your campaign is shown on the registration page.

1. **Request your 10DLC number**

   After your 10DLC campaign is approved, you can request a phone number and associate that number with the approved 10DLC campaign. Each phone number can only be associated with a single 10DLC campaign. For more information on requesting a 10DLC phone number, see [Request a phone number in AWS End User Messaging SMS](phone-numbers-request.md) and [Associating a long code with a 10DLC campaign](registrations-10dlc-associate.md). There is a monthly recurring fee for leasing the phone number. This fee is shown on the purchase page.
**Note**  
You are charged the monthly 10DLC number lease price regardless of status. For example, 10DLC numbers in a **Pending** state still generate a month fee. For more information about pricing, see [AWS End User Messaging Pricing](https://aws.amazon.com//end-user-messaging/pricing/).

# 10DLC brand registration form


**Note**  
With our updated console experience you are now seeing a registration **Name** field for your registration. This field is set to "–" as we do not manually backfill any of your service values to prevent interruption to your service and let you maintain your security posture. A registration **Name** is an optional friendly name field that can be updated using the tags on the registration details page. For more information on how to add a **Name** tag, see [Change a registration's name in AWS End User Messaging SMS](registrations-friendly-name.md).

Before you can request a 10DLC phone number, you must register your company or brand. Brand registrations are managed by an industry organization called the Campaign Registry. You need to register your company per each AWS account and AWS Region that will use the company.

**Note**  
Campaign Registry has implemented a two-factor authentication (2FA) for brand registrations. If your **Legal form of organization** is PUBLIC\$1PROFIT you have to provide the email address of a person who works at the brand who can complete the email authentication. Email distribution lists are not allowed and the email domain must match the domain of your business. The email authentication is sent from **noreply@auth.campaignregistry.com** and we recommend you add the email address to your spam list allow rules. 

After you've created your 10DLC brand registration you need to complete the form and submit it for approval.

If your 10DLC brand registration is successful and you want to register for higher throughput capabilities, then you must vet your 10DLC brand registration. For more information on 10 DLC brand vetting, see [10DLC brand vetting form](registrations-10dlc-vetting.md).

# 10DLC brand vetting form


If your company's registration is successful and you want to register a 10DLC campaign with higher throughput capabilities, then you must vet your company registration.

When you vet your registration, a third-party organization analyzes the company details that you provided and returns a vetting score. A high vetting score can lead to higher throughput rates for your 10DLC company and the campaigns associated with it. However, vetting isn't guaranteed to increase your throughput.

Vetting scores aren't applied retroactively. In other words, if you've already created a 10DLC campaign, and you later vet your company registration, your vetting score isn't automatically applied to your existing campaign. For this reason, you should vet your company or brand *before* you create any of your 10DLC campaigns.

**Note**  
There is a \$140 non-refundable fee for vetting your company or brand.

**Note**  
For more information on expected registration times, see [United States 10DLC registration](registrations-10dlc.md).

**To vet your company registration**

1. Open the AWS End User Messaging SMS console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/sms-voice/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/sms-voice/).

For more information on registering for 10DLC, see [Requesting dedicated long codes](phone-numbers-request-long-code.md).

# Associating a long code with a 10DLC campaign


After your 10DLC campaign is approved, you have provisioned a new long code or have an existing long code you can then associate that long code with the approved 10DLC campaign. The long code that you associate with the 10DLC campaign can only be used with that campaign, and you can't use it for any other 10DLC campaign.

1. Open the AWS End User Messaging SMS console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/sms-voice/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/sms-voice/).

1. In the navigation pane, under **Registrations**, choose the 10DLC campaign(US\$1TEN\$1DLC\$1CAMPAIGN\$1REGISTRATION) to associate the long code with.

1. Choose the **Associated resourced** tab and **Add resource**.

1. For **Supported association**, choose **TEN\$1DLC** from the dropdown list. 

1. For **Available resources**, choose the 10DLC phone number to add.

1. Choose **Associate resource**.

You can associate more than one long code with the 10DLC campaign.

## 10DLC registration and monthly fees


There are registration and monthly fees associated with using 10DLC, such as registering your company and 10DLC campaign. These are separate from any other monthly or AWS fees. For more information about 10DLC fees, see the [AWS End User Messaging Pricing](https://aws.amazon.com//end-user-messaging/pricing/) page.

# 10DLC cross-account access


Each 10DLC phone number is associated with a single account in a single AWS Region. If you want to use the same 10DLC phone number to send messages in more than one account or Region, you have two options:

1. You can register the same company and campaign in each of your AWS accounts. These registrations are managed and charged separately. If you register the same company in multiple AWS accounts, the number of messages that you can send to T-Mobile customers per day is shared across each of those accounts.

1. You can complete the 10DLC registration process in one AWS account, and use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to grant other accounts permission to send through your 10DLC number.
**Note**  
This option allows for true cross-account access to your 10DLC phone numbers. However, note that messages sent from your secondary accounts are treated as if they were sent from your primary account. Quotas and billing are counted against the primary account and not against any secondary accounts.

## Setting up cross-account access using IAM policies


You can use IAM roles to associate other accounts with your main account. Then, you can delegate access permissions from your primary account to your secondary accounts by granting them access to the 10DLC numbers in the primary account.

**To grant access to a 10DLC number in your primary account**

1. If you haven't already done so, complete the 10DLC registration process in the primary account. This process involves three steps:
   + Register your company. For more information, see [10DLC brand registration form](registrations-10dlc-company.md).
   + Register your 10DLC campaign (use case). For more information, see [10DLC campaign registration form](registrations-10dlc-register-campaign.md).
   + Associate a phone number with your 10DLC campaign. For more information, see [Associating a long code with a 10DLC campaign](registrations-10dlc-associate.md).

1. Create an IAM role in your primary account that allows another account to call the `SendTextMessage` API operation for your 10DLC phone number. For more information on creating roles, see [Creating IAM roles](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_create.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. 

1. Delegate and test access permission from your primary account using IAM roles with any of your other accounts that need to use your 10DLC numbers. For example, you might delegate access permission from your Production account to your Development account. For more information about delegating and testing permissions, see [Delegate access across AWS account using IAM roles](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/tutorial_cross-account-with-roles.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.

1. Using the new role, send a message using a 10DLC number from a secondary account. For more information about using a role, see [Using IAM roles](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_manage-assume.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.

# United States Toll-free number registration process
United States Toll-free number registration

**Important**  
It can take up to 15 business days for your registration to be processed after it is submitted.

If you use AWS End User Messaging SMS to send messages to recipients in the United States or the US territories of Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa, you can use toll-free phone numbers (TFN) to deliver those messages. After you request a TFN you then complete and submit the registration for the TFN. Each TFN requires a specific use case. For example, if you register a TFN to use for one-time passwords, it can only be used for sending one-time passwords. If a TFN is used for anything other than the specified use case, it can be revoked. 

**Register a toll-free number**

1. You first need to request the toll-free number. When you request the toll-free number in the **Registration Required** window enter a friendly name for the registration. 

1. You can begin the registration process by choosing **Begin registration** or choose **Register later** to come back and [complete the form](registrations-tfn-register.md#registrations-tfn-register.title).

## Toll-free number forbidden use cases


Please be aware that AWS is limited in our ability to send any messages or register TFNs for some use cases. Certain use cases are blocked entirely (for example, use cases related to controlled substance, or phishing) and other might be subject to high levels of filtering (for example, high risk financial messages). You might be unable to register TFNs associated with restricted content use cases defined in [Prohibited message content](best-practices.md#best-practices-sms-message-content).

# US toll-free number registration form


**Note**

](registrations-short-code.md)

# Prepare for your US Short Code submission
Prepare for submission

Before submitting your short code registration, review the following industry guidelines to ensure your SMS campaign is compliant with carrier requirements:
+ [CTIA Short Code Monitoring Handbook](https://api.ctia.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/CTIA-Short-Code-Monitoring-Handbook-v1.9-FINAL.pdf) – Comprehensive guidelines for short code program compliance and monitoring.
+ [CTIA Messaging Principles and Best Practices](https://api.ctia.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/230523-CTIA-Messaging-Principles-and-Best-Practices-FINAL.pdf) – Industry-wide messaging standards and recommendations.
+ [T-Mobile Code of Conduct](https://www.t-mobile.com/support/public-files/attachments/T-Mobile%20Code%20of%20Conduct.pdf) – Carrier-specific requirements and best practices.

## Required documentation


Before starting your short code registration, prepare the following documentation:
+ **SMS Terms & Conditions** – Create a specific Terms of Service document for your SMS campaign. This document should be accessible to the public. While it's not necessary for these terms to be published online when you submit your campaign for approval, you must provide a draft version and specify the URL where these terms will eventually be posted. If your Privacy Policy doesn't already include these Terms of Service, submit them as a separate document. For a template that covers carrier requirements, see the [SMS and MMS specific Terms and Conditions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sms-voice/latest/userguide/best-practices.html) section in the AWS End User Messaging SMS Best Practices guide.
+ **Call-to-action/Opt-in Mockup** – Include either a visual mockup or a written script (for verbal sign-ups) showing exactly how you plan to get users to join your program and obtain their consent. This should demonstrate how you'll present your program to potential subscribers. Certain mandatory disclaimers must be shown to users before they can give their consent to participate.
+ **Prohibited content confirmation** – Ensure your SMS campaign isn't in any of the prohibited categories. Carriers won't accept or review any applications that involve restricted content types. Review the list of [prohibited message content](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sms-voice/latest/userguide/best-practices.html#best-practices-sms-message-content) in the AWS End User Messaging SMS Best Practices guide.

## Call-to-action and opt-in requirements


The following items are the minimum that must be presented to an end-user at the time of opt-in to ensure your SMS program is compliant:

# Brand vetting requirements
Brand vetting

The CTIA (Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association) and the US Short Code Registry require all brands to complete a vetting process when leasing new short codes and annually thereafter. This vetting process is designed to enhance consumer protection and improve transparency in SMS messaging.

The vetting process validates the following information for each entity:
+ Company name and legal entity type
+ Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN/EIN)
+ Corporate registration
+ Compliance history
+ Legal history

Once a brand is successfully vetted for short code leases, you don't need to go through the entire vetting process again when leasing additional codes. However, annual re-vetting is required to maintain your short code lease.

## How the vetting process works


AWS collects the required brand information (and content provider information, if applicable) during the short code registration process. This information is submitted to the US Short Code Registry so that their vetting agents can contact brand owners to complete the vetting process and authorize the short code procurement.

The vetting process includes the following steps:

1. **Initial verification** – The vetting agent verifies that the legal name and Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) match, that the brand contact email is valid and relates to the company's published URL, and then triggers an authentication process.

1. **Email verification** – A verification PIN is sent to the brand's point of contact email address from `verify@usshortcodes.com`. The brand contact must click the verification link in the email and enter the PIN to complete the process.

1. **Completion** – Once verification is complete, the brand is approved and the short code can be provisioned.

**Important**  
The verification PIN is valid for 7 days. A reminder is sent 48 hours before the PIN expires. If the PIN expires, a second and final PIN is sent. If no action is taken, you must create an AWS Support case to request the vetting email be resent.

Common reasons for verification failure include:
+ The information submitted does not match the brand's Form SS-4 documentation provided by the IRS
+ The brand is a new entity that has not yet been updated in verification systems
+ The brand contact email uses a free email service (such as Gmail or Yahoo) instead of a company domain

If you need to appeal a verification failure, you can provide a copy of your CP-575 notice (the official EIN confirmation letter issued by the IRS) for further review via an AWS Support case.

## Contact information requirements


During the short code registration process, you must provide contact information that will be used for vetting communications. The following fields are collected in the registration form:
+ **Contact name** – Name of your company's point of contact. If you are an ISV (Independent Software Vendor), enter your end customer's information.
+ **Contact email address** – Email address of your company's point of contact. If you are an ISV, enter your end customer's information. This email will receive the verification PIN.
+ **Contact phone number** – Phone number of your company's point of contact. If you are an ISV, enter your end customer's information.
+ **Content provider name (ISV only)** – Optional. Name of the content provider point of contact.
+ **Content provider email address (ISV only)** – Optional. Email address of the content provider point of contact.
+ **Content provider phone number (ISV only)** – Optional. Phone number of the content provider point of contact.

**Tip**  
Use a company email address that matches your company's website domain. Free email services (such as Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook.com) are not permitted and will cause verification to fail.

## Tips for successful vetting


Follow these tips to ensure a smooth vetting process:
+ **Add the verification email to your safe senders list** – The verification email comes from `verify@usshortcodes.com`. Add this address to your email safe senders list to ensure you receive the verification PIN.
+ **Use your company email domain** – The brand contact email must match your company's website URL. Free email services are not permitted.
+ **Ensure FEIN accuracy** – Your Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) and legal entity name must exactly match your IRS Form SS-4 or CP-575 documentation.
+ **Complete verification promptly** – The verification PIN expires after 7 days. Complete the verification as soon as you receive the email to avoid delays.
+ **Keep contact information current** – If your business contact details change, open a support case with AWS to update your information before the annual re-vetting period.

If you have problems completing the verification from the link in the email, try the following:
+ Turn off or pause your VPN
+ Try a different browser
+ Copy and paste the URL directly into your browser

## Annual re-vetting requirements


Re-vetting of brands is required annually by the US Short Code Registry. You should expect to receive a verification email from `verify@usshortcodes.com` approximately one year after your short code was provisioned to your account.

The annual re-vetting process is similar to the initial PIN verification:

1. The vetting agency sends an email to the brand point of contact on file

1. The email contains a verification link and PIN

1. You must complete the email verification within 7 days

**Important**  
Failure to complete annual re-vetting can result in suspension of your short code service. Monitor your email for verification requests and complete them promptly.

If your business contact details have changed since your initial registration or last re-vetting, you must open a support case with AWS to update your contact information with the carriers before the annual re-vetting period. This ensures that the verification email is sent to the correct recipient.
