10DLC

10DLC (10-digit long code) is a long number for business messaging in the US. 10DLC requires a special registration process and must be compliant with US messaging guidelines. It was developed as a substitute for businesses that were using P2P numbers for A2P messaging.

You should consider using 10DLC if you are currently:

• Getting started with messaging and want to see how SMS in the US can help your business
• Sharing the use of a short code either for multiple, different use cases, or with other businesses
• Using a long code (also known as a virtual mobile number) to send P2P messages
• Using a short code but not getting the value from it based on cost
