Understanding 10DLC for Text Messaging
Don’t Get Blocked: Understanding 10DLC for Text Messaging in 2025
Want to leverage the power of TLMessanger (TLM) for your business? Hold on, because new regulations are in play! The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) enforces the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), which restricts how businesses can contact consumers via phone calls and text messages. This means that you must now have express written consent when texting any of your clients through TLD. Here’s how 10DLC ensures compliant and effective TLM campaigns.
What is 10DLC Compliance?
10DLC stands for 10-digit long code. It’s a specific type of phone number used for sending text messages to a large audience. Think of it as a dedicated line for your messaging messages, although TLD functionality allows for P2P communications directly from the lead. Previously, businesses could use shared short codes, but the FCC cracked down on spam and introduced 10DLC as a more reliable and identifiable way to send texts.
Why is 10DLC Compliance Important?
Using a 10DLC number for your TLM campaigns ensures compliance with the TCPA. This not only avoids hefty fines for violating consumer privacy rules, but also improves message deliverability. Carriers prioritize 10DLC messages over those sent from unverified sources, meaning your texts are more likely to reach their intended recipients and land in inboxes, not spam folders. This is especially important when communicating plan details and changes during Open Enrollment as well as during your retention campaigns.
