BulkSMS Incoming Long Numbers - whmcsservices - 12-01-2021
A routing adjustment has been made which should enable small batches to be delivered. We recommend that you review the following information and apply for a dedicated number:
The major US carriers have announced their requirements for SMS delivery which prohibits the use of shared originators (these are the numbers your SMS messages are sent/originate from) which will no longer be an acceptable format for A2P (application-to-person) messaging as all SMS messages sent to the US must now originate from a U.S. pre-approved long number dedicated to your BulkSMS Account and SMS messaging use case. This new standard provides many benefits including supporting higher messaging speeds and better deliverability.
• Messaging such as bulk notifications should be sent via a Toll-Free Number (Toll-Free numbers may only be used for Non-Marketing, Customer Service, and Alert Notifications use cases).
Setup fee - US$0
Monthly Fee (6 Months) - US$4.00
Monthly Fee (12 Months) - US$3.50
• Messaging such as marketing or promotional content should be sent via 10 digit geographic numbers also known as 10 DLC (10 Digit Long Code). When using 10 digit geographic numbers customers will need to register a brand and campaign in order to get approval and can only send messages with the same use case that have been registered with their campaign. The cost breakdown is as follows:
Setup fee - US$60.00
Brand registration fee - US$20.00
Monthly Fee (6 / 12 Months) - US$5.00
