SMS Campaign Registration for Businesses Without a Tax ID
DEADLINE: Carriers will begin blocking unregistered outbound SMS on October 1, 2024, with all unregistered outbound messages blocked by December 1, 2024. This change follows a government-mandated regulation aimed at protecting consumers from spam. Mobile carriers require the completion of a registration process to continue sending text messages. Register now to avoid any service disruption.
Grasshopper is actively working with its carrier to support this campaign type, but it is not yet available. Learn about your options below.
- If you have a Tax ID or EIN, you should use the established 10DLC registration process.
- If you don’t have a Tax ID/EIN, you can obtain one from the IRS online. The process is designed to be quick and simple. Please consider whether doing so is right for your business. Also, if you do this, you will need to wait approximately 4 weeks after obtaining a Tax ID/EIN before using the standard 10DLC registration process.
- If you don’t have a Tax ID or EIN and are not willing to obtain one, you can wait until the carrier has opened a viable path for registration. We will provide updates on the availability of such a path on this article.
