A2P 10DLC Announcements
Effective July 5, 2023, all SMS and MMS Messages sent to US phone numbers using 10DLC phone numbers must be sent via a registered application-to-person (A2P) Campaign. Messages sent using unregistered phone numbers will be subject to a gradual increase of message blocking by Twilio, beginning on July 5, 2023, ultimately leading to a full Twilio Network block of all unregistered U.S.-bound messages sent after August 31, 2023. Twilio messaging rates will still apply, even for blocked messages.
