Limitations and compliance for 10DLCs

Understand the messaging limits and rules you need to follow when using a 10DLC.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Daily message limits

Your messaging speed and daily limits depend on the TrustScore you receive when you register. A higher TrustScore gives you better throughput, while a lower score will cap how many messages you can send.

Make sure you provide clear and accurate information during registration to get the best possible score.


Mixed use cases

If you use a campaign for different types of messages, like marketing and customer support, you’ll likely get a lower TrustScore. Mixed-use campaigns are seen as higher risk.

It’s better to keep each campaign focused on one clear purpose to help with approval and throughput.


Special use cases

Some types of messaging need extra approval. These include:

  • Financial services

  • Gambling or sweepstakes

  • Political campaigns

  • Charitable fundraising

  • Emergency services

These campaigns might cost more and take longer to approve.


Compliance requirements

When setting up and using your 10DLC, you must:

  • Provide correct information about your brand and campaign.

  • Clearly explain how people opt in to receive your messages.

  • Share sample messages that match your real use.

  • Follow all mobile carrier rules and local laws.

If you don’t follow the compliance rules, your campaign could be rejected, restricted, or suspended.
