# Register Your Business for SMS

> Register your business, campaign, and phone numbers with US carriers so your team can send text messages from Reevo.

US carriers require every business that sends text messages from a regular 10-digit number to register first, a process called A2P 10DLC. Reevo submits your registration to carriers on your behalf from **Dialer and SMS** settings. Registration has three parts, completed in order:

| Part | What it tells carriers | Who completes it |
| :- | :- | :- |
| **Brand** | Who you are: legal business name, tax ID, address, website | Admins |
| **Campaign** | What you text about: use case, sample messages, how people opt in | Admins |
| **Phone numbers** | Which of your numbers send those texts | Admins, or reps for their own number |

Until all three are approved, carriers filter your texts and they don't reach your contacts.

## Before you start

* You need the Admin role to register a brand or campaign.
* Have your business details ready, exactly as they appear on your tax registration: legal business name, tax ID (EIN for US businesses), and registered address.
* Your business website must be live and match the registered business.
* Each user who texts needs a Reevo phone number. See [Dialer](https://help.reevo.ai/Conversations/Dialer.md).

> [!NOTE]
>
> If you don't see an **SMS** tab in **Dialer and SMS** settings, SMS isn't turned on for your organization yet. Contact your Reevo account team.

## Step 1: Register your brand

**1. Open carrier registration**

Go to **Settings > My account > Dialer and SMS** and select the **SMS** tab. The **Carrier registration** section shows the status of your brand, campaign, and phone numbers.

**2. Start the brand form**

Click **Register brand**. Your progress saves automatically at each step, and you can click **Save draft** to close the form and return later. Nothing is sent to carriers until you submit.

**3. Enter your business details**

Fill in **Registered legal business name**, **Business type**, **Industry**, **Business tax ID**, **Tax ID type**, **Business website**, and **Regions of operation**, then your **Business address**.

**4. Add an authorized representative**

Enter a person at your business who can attest to this registration, and a **Brand contact email**. Carriers send verification challenges to that email.

**5. Choose your message volume**

Under **Expected message volume**, choose **Up to 6,000 messages a day** unless you expect to send more than that.

**6. Review and submit**

On **Review**, check every detail, confirm the attestation, and click **Submit for review**.

Brand reviews typically take up to seven business days. Nothing is needed from you until the result arrives.

| Brand status | Meaning |
| :- | :- |
| **Pending** / **In review** | Carriers are reviewing your brand |
| **Approved** | You can register a campaign |
| **Failed** | Carriers rejected the brand. See [If carriers reject your registration](#if-carriers-reject-your-registration) |
| **Suspended** | Carriers suspended the brand. Contact Reevo support |

## Step 2: Register your campaign

Once your brand shows **Approved**, register a campaign that describes how you text customers.

**1. Start the campaign form**

In **Carrier registration**, click **Register campaign**.

**2. Describe the campaign**

Under **What do you use SMS for?**, choose the use case that matches how you text customers, then describe the campaign under **What is this campaign for?**

**3. Add sample messages and consent details**

Add **Sample messages** that look like real texts you'll send, explain **How do customers opt in?**, and add your **Privacy policy link** and **Terms and conditions link**. Fill in your opt-in, opt-out, and help keywords and replies.

**4. Review and submit**

On **Review**, check every detail and click **Submit campaign**.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Choose the use case carefully. It's the only field carriers won't let you correct later. A campaign registered under the wrong use case has to be replaced with a new registration.

Campaign reviews typically take up to seven business days. When the campaign shows **Verified**, register your phone numbers.

You need one campaign per use case, not one per sequence. Sequences and messages with the same purpose share one campaign.

## Step 3: Register your phone numbers

Each number that sends texts must be registered to your approved campaign.

* **Admins:** In **Carrier registration**, open **Phone numbers** and click **Register** next to each number.
* **Reps:** On the **Calling** tab of **Dialer and SMS**, click **Register for texting** next to your own number. This works only after an admin's campaign is verified.
* **New numbers:** When you buy a number, select **Register this number for texting** to submit it right away.

Number registration can take several days. The **Phone numbers** list shows each number as **Registered**, **Pending**, **Not registered**, **Failed**, or **Not applicable**.

## Get approved the first time

Most rejections come from the opt-in description and sample messages. Before submitting:

* **Match your tax records.** Enter your legal business name exactly as it appears on your tax registration, not your trading name.
* **Describe every opt-in method.** Explain where and how customers agree to receive texts, for example: "Customers enter their number at \[website URL] and check a box agreeing to receive order updates from Acme. Privacy policy: \[privacy URL]."
* **Write realistic samples.** Include your brand name, bracket any variables, and end with opt-out language, for example: "Acme: Your order for \[item] ships on \[date]. Reply STOP to opt out."
* **Publish a privacy policy.** Your website should be live and include a privacy policy.

## If carriers reject your registration

* **Brand:** The form shows **Carriers rejected this brand** and, when carriers say, which details were rejected. Click **Fix and resubmit**, correct the details, and resubmit. You get three free resubmissions. After that, contact Reevo support.
* **Campaign:** Click **Edit & resubmit**, update the fields carriers flagged, and click **Resubmit campaign**. There is no new fee. On a resubmit, you can change the campaign description, opt-in flow, sample messages, content flags, and policy links. The use case and consent replies stay as submitted, so if carriers flagged one of those, contact Reevo support.

## Troubleshooting / FAQs

> [accordion] We already registered with Twilio. Do we need to register again?
>
> Yes. A brand or campaign registered in a Twilio account outside Reevo doesn't carry over. Register through **Dialer and SMS** settings.

> [accordion] Reevo says carriers didn't confirm the result
>
> Don't submit again, since a second attempt could register you twice. Contact Reevo support to have it checked and cleared.

> [accordion] We don't have a tax ID
>
> Businesses without a tax ID can't register through Reevo yet. Contact Reevo support.

> [accordion] Can reps see registration status?
>
> Yes. Reps can see campaign status and the **Phone numbers** list, including whether their own number is registered. Only admins see and edit the brand registration, and only admins can resubmit a rejected campaign.

> [accordion] Do we need a separate campaign for each sequence?
>
> No. One campaign covers every message with the same purpose. Register another campaign only for a different use case.

> [accordion] My number shows Registered but texts aren't sending
>
> Check that your campaign shows **Verified** and that the contact has SMS consent. See [SMS Consent and Opt-Outs](https://help.reevo.ai/Conversations/SMS-Consent-and-Opt-Outs.md). If both look right, contact Reevo support.
