SMS and 10DLC Compliance Services

What does the SMS and 10DLC compliance service cover?

It prepares everything a carrier or messaging platform reviews before your texts are allowed through: brand and campaign registration data, consent language, opt-in and opt-out flows, message content, and DBA handling. It is quoted per project, based on how much of that is already in place.

In the US, businesses texting from ordinary 10-digit numbers register a brand and a campaign through a Campaign Service Provider, which enrolls them with The Campaign Registry (TCR). Brands cannot register with TCR directly (The Campaign Registry, 2026). Unregistered 10DLC traffic draws extra carrier fees on platforms like Twilio (Twilio Docs, 2026), and in practice it is filtered or blocked.

What's included

Each engagement is scoped to what you need, from a single rejected campaign to a full program setup. The work draws from this list.

• Brand registration prep. Legal name, EIN-matched details, business type, address, and website checked for consistency before you submit through TCR via your provider.
• Campaign registration prep. Use case selection, campaign description, sample messages, and message flow (how a person opts in) written to match what you actually send.
• DBA handling. Making the brand name people see in your texts, on your website, and in your registration line up, including when you operate under a DBA.
• Consent-form language. Opt-in wording for web forms that names the sender, describes message type and frequency, notes that message and data rates may apply, and explains how to get help and opt out.
• Opt-in and opt-out flows. Confirmation messages, HELP and STOP replies, and keyword handling.
• Forbidden-word scanning. Reviewing sample and live message content for terms and patterns that trigger carrier filtering or rejection in your vertical.
• TCPA and CTIA alignment. Checking the program against the CTIA Messaging Principles and Best Practices and current FCC TCPA rules.
• Carrier filtering diagnosis. When registered messages are still being blocked, tracing whether content, links, sending patterns, or registration data is the cause.

How an engagement works

Most engagements follow the same four steps, whether you are registering for the first time or fixing a rejection.

1. Intake. Tell us your messaging platform, business details, what you send, and any rejection or error messages. Start at the contact form.
2. Audit. We review your website, forms, registration data, and message samples against carrier and TCR expectations. The free Landing Page QA tool is a quick first pass you can run yourself.
3. Fix and prepare. Consent language, policy pages, sample messages, and registration fields are corrected so they agree with each other.
4. Submit and respond. You or we (if engaged for filing) submit through your provider, and we work through any vetting feedback.

What drives the quote

Pricing is quoted per project. Four things move it most.

If the only gap is the website, the fixed-price $350 10DLC-compliant website covers it: Privacy Policy, Terms, SMS consent pages, and consent language on forms, delivered within 1 business day.

What regulators and carriers expect in 2026

The rules come from two places: federal law (the TCPA, enforced through FCC rules) and carrier policy (built on the CTIA Messaging Principles and enforced through registration and filtering).

• Opt-out by any reasonable means. The FCC codified that consumers can revoke consent through any reasonable means, including replying words such as "stop," "quit," "end," "revoke," "opt out," "cancel," or "unsubscribe," and that revocation must be honored within a reasonable time not exceeding 10 business days (FCC, rules effective April 11, 2025). The FCC has extended a waiver of one related provision, section 64.1200(a)(10), until January 31, 2027 (FCC, 2026).
• Clear consent disclosures. CTIA guidance calls for opt-in disclosures that identify the program, message frequency, rates, and HELP and STOP instructions (CTIA, May 2023).
• Registration fees are separate. Twilio lists a $15 campaign vetting fee per campaign and monthly campaign fees of $1.50 to $10 depending on use case (Twilio, September 2026). These are paid to your provider, not to Full Percent.

What's not included

We prepare and fix; carriers and vetting partners decide.

• No approval guarantee. Carriers and TCR vetting partners make the call. We remove the problems we can find.
• No legal opinion. We align your program with published TCPA rules and CTIA guidance, but we are not your lawyer.
• Provider fees. Brand, vetting, and campaign fees are billed by your messaging platform.

Who this is for

Businesses that text customers or leads and need registration to go through, or stay through.

• Business funding and MCA, SBA, debt guidance, and insurance companies, where lead-generation texting is common.
• Health, real estate, and vehicle inspection businesses sending appointment, service, or marketing texts.
• Anyone whose campaign was rejected and who wants the rejection diagnosed rather than resubmitted blindly.
