In a bid to combat spam through 10DLC, it's imperative for all numbers to undergo registration with The Campaign Registry (TCR), the body responsible for 10DLC registration in collaboration with mobile carriers. Distinguishing itself from many top-tier SMS platforms, Udext ensures that users can have their new 10DLC operational typically within a day. Once you transition to a premium Udext package and choose a local number, our platform will guide you to a 10DLC registration form. After you input the necessary details, our team liaises with TCR to facilitate your business registration.

Key Details for the 10DLC Registration Form:

  1. Purpose of Messaging

    This refers to the primary reason for using your 10DLC number. Common purposes include:

    • 2FA: any authentication, verification, or one-time passcode

    • Account notifications: messages sent to contacts about their account

    • Customer care: messages related to customer support

    • Delivery notifications: information about orders and deliveries

    • Fraud alert messaging: alerting customers to potential fraud

    • Higher education: campaign sent by universities or colleges, can also include school districts and other education institutions

    • Marketing: any messaging that promotes your products or services

    • Polling and voting: non-political voting and surveys

    • Public service announcement: mass messaging to alert contacts to information that is of importance

    • Note: There are specific use cases termed as "Special Use Cases" that might have unique prerequisites and associated costs for 10DLC registration.

  2. Sample Text Messages

    You'll be prompted to provide two representative text messages you intend to dispatch. This offers TCR a glimpse into the kind of content your recipients will get. You can either draft a fresh message or share one that you've previously sent. If you're seeking inspiration, our platform offers a range of SMS templates./

  3. Method of Opting-In:

    Given that businesses must obtain consent to send texts, you'll be required to elucidate your method of obtaining this consent. Some prevalent opt-in techniques include:

    • Text-to-join keywords

    • SMS web forms

    • Paper forms with a checkbox

  4. Business Contact Details


    Next, you’ll provide your business’ primary contact and support details:

    • Business contact’s first and last name

    • Customer support email and number

    • Website

  5. Organization Details

    The concluding section will solicit details like your organization's name, the industry you operate in, and your EIN (Employer Identification Number).

    • Organization or brand name

    • Legal company name (The business name registered with the IRS)

    • Employer Identification Number (EIN)


    Mobile carriers utilize the EIN to authenticate and recognize organizations. If you're uncertain about your EIN or need to procure one, you can apply online.

If you have any questions about the registration form, our customer support team is available seven days a week to assist you. Just click the blue chat button at the bottom of your screen.

Post-Submission of Your 10DLC Registration Form:

Once you've dispatched your 10DLC registration form, what's next? Our support team takes the reins from this point, coordinating with TCR to register your enterprise. The process is as follows:

  1. Submission to TCR

    Post the receipt of your business particulars, messaging purpose, and sample texts, and we forward them to TCR for 10DLC registration processing.

  2. TCR's Review

    If TCR greenlights your registration without necessitating further details, your number typically gets activated in mere minutes. If there's a mismatch between your business data and messaging purposes, our team will touch base with you to iron out any wrinkles before resubmitting to TCR.
