Can a business outside the US register for 10DLC?
Yes, in many cases. The brand registration asks for your company details and tax ID from your home country. We'll tell you what's needed before you start.
How long does 10DLC registration take?
Brand checks are often quick; campaign review usually takes from a few days to a couple of weeks. Textezy shows each step's status and flags anything that needs your input.
Are there carrier fees?
Yes. The registry and carriers charge one-time and recurring fees for brands and campaigns, and some carriers add small per-message fees. Textezy shows these before you file and before you send.
Can I text about merchant cash advance and business funding?
Yes. Direct funders can text their own applicants who opted in, using a campaign registered for financial services. Carriers vet this category more closely, so registration can take longer, and they don't allow payday loans, debt relief, or texting leads bought from or shared by third parties. Textezy prepares the registration and checks every message before it goes out.
Can real estate agents text their leads?
Yes, when the lead asked to hear from you, for example through your website, a listing enquiry or an open-house sign-in. Texting numbers from scraped or purchased lists, including FSBO and expired listings, isn't allowed and gets numbers blocked. Showing reminders and enquiry replies can go out alongside your marketing, kept in their own campaign.
What can't I send?
Carriers don't allow some content at all, such as payday loans, debt forgiveness, cannabis and third-party lead generation, and require age gates for others such as alcohol. Textezy warns you if a campaign falls into one of these categories.
