Warning Any message transmitted via our platforms, regardless of use case or phone number type (e.g., long code, short code, or toll-free) will be considered by The Campaign Registry (TCR) to be an Application-to-Person (A2P) messaging. Per the rules of The Campaign Registry (TCR), Application-to-Person (A2P) SMS and MMS message traffic may not be delivered to US-based end user mobile devices unless your company has been vetted and the message traffic is properly registered as a campaign. Additionally some carriers are blocking inbound messages, those originating from mobile devices and transmitted to Sangoma telephone numbers, that are unregistered business/application 10DLC numbers.
