10 DLC Policy

At DRDS LLC, we are committed to delivering reliable and responsible communication services. Our use of 10-Digit Long Codes (10 DLC) for SMS and MMS messaging ensures that your messages reach their intended recipients efficiently and compliantly. Below are the key aspects of our 10 DLC policy:

1. What is 10 DLC?

10 DLC is a 10-digit phone number used for sending SMS and MMS messages. It bridges the gap between short codes and toll-free numbers, providing a cost-effective and scalable solution for business messaging.

2. Registration Requirements

To ensure compliance and quality, all phone numbers, campaigns, and use cases must be registered with the appropriate carriers or third-party services. This process helps manage traffic and reduces the risk of spam.

3. Message Throughput and Fees

Our 10 DLC messaging service offers balanced message throughput, suitable for businesses of all sizes. While the throughput is lower than short codes, it is more favorable than standard long codes. Fees may include per-message charges and monthly fees, ensuring a cost-effective solution tailored to your needs.

4. Compliance and Restrictions

Compliance with industry standards is crucial. Our policy includes strict guidelines on message content, opt-in and opt-out processes, and prohibited content. Non-compliance may result in penalties or message blocking.

5. Verification Process

To maintain the integrity of our messaging services, we require businesses to undergo a verification process. This process confirms your business legitimacy and ensures that your campaigns are conducted responsibly.

6. Benefits of 10 DLC

10 DLC offers the perfect balance between cost, local presence, and message throughput. It is ideal for businesses seeking to enhance customer engagement through SMS, without the high costs associated with short codes.

7. Penalties for Non-Compliance

Non-compliance with our 10 DLC policy can lead to severe consequences, including message filtering, blocking, or even fines. We prioritize adherence to industry standards to maintain high-quality messaging services.

8. Industry-Wide Impact

The 10 DLC policy is part of a broader initiative to improve the quality and reliability of business messaging. By adhering to these guidelines, we ensure that your messages are delivered securely and effectively.
