Registering to text and call from a business number

3 tools, 4 guides, 3 comparisons

Before a business can text customers from an ordinary ten-digit number, the carriers want to know who it is and what it will send: a registered brand, a described campaign and a website that shows the opt-in.

This section walks through that registration, prices it, writes the policy wording vetting looks for, and covers the caller ID labels that decide whether a call shows up as spam.
