Starting April 1st, 2023, new regulations for business-to-consumer messaging will impact the use of local phone numbers for texting. This is called 10DLC or 10-digit long code, which is a channel created by mobile carriers to ensure spam-free and trusted SMS/MMS communications. All businesses that send A2P messages on a 10DLC phone number must register their brand with the carrier supporting their numbers. Bright Pattern will manage the registration process for its clients. Registration of numbers is required prior to April 1st, 2023, and failure to do so may result in a disruption of service. For more information or to register a 10DLC phone number, contact Bright Pattern Customer Success. | |
