What is 10DLC, and How Does it Relate to Your Website?
10DLC stands for "10-Digit Long Code," which is a system designed for businesses to send text messages (SMS/MMS) through standard 10-digit phone numbers. It is primarily used for business communications like marketing, customer updates, and notifications. To use 10DLC, businesses must register their phone numbers with mobile carriers to ensure compliance with regulations aimed at reducing spam and improving the reliability of text messaging.
Why is 10DLC Not Related to Your Website?
Your website operates on the internet, using domain names and hosting platforms, while 10DLC deals exclusively with telecommunications and text messaging through phone networks. In simple terms:
- Your website delivers content to people who visit it online.
- 10DLC ensures businesses can send text messages responsibly to people's phones.
These are entirely separate systems, with no technical overlap. Being "10DLC compliant" involves registering your business's text messaging campaigns with carriers, not making changes to your website.
How Can We Help?
As your website provider, we don't manage your text messaging compliance, but we can help by adding an announcement or page on your site to inform your visitors that your business is 10DLC compliant. For example, we can create a simple message like this:
"We are proud to announce our compliance with 10DLC regulations, ensuring secure and reliable text message communications for our customers."
This helps showcase your commitment to following best practices in customer communication. Let us know if you'd like us to add this to your website! Please remember, we are not a security or IT company, we are not a phone service provider, nor are we attorneys. Please know we are not responsible for the actual compliance of your business for 10DLC compliance.
