A2P 10DLC registration
Autessa Phone & Texting runs A2P 10DLC registration, the US carrier registration businesses need to text from local numbers, inside the app. A guided form with templates checks your answers for common rejection reasons before you submit, a timeline shows each carrier stage, and if something needs fixing you see the carrier's own words and can fix and resubmit.
The problem it solves
Carrier registration is where texting stalls
Businesses that text from a local number must register their brand and use case with the US carriers, and vague answers or missing opt-in proof are common reasons for rejection. Autessa puts the whole registration in the app with templates, checks and plain-language guidance, so you know what to fix and when you can start texting.
What you get
- Register as a standard business with an EIN, or as a sole proprietor with one number and a verification text to the owner's US mobile.
- Templates per use case, such as customer care, account notifications, delivery notifications, marketing and two-factor codes.
- Checks for common rejection reasons before you submit, and a "What counts as opt-in proof?" guide.
- Attach opt-in proof as a link or up to 10 screenshots or PDFs, which Autessa hosts on a proof page.
- A status timeline: business profile, brand, campaign, ready.
- When the carriers ask for changes, you see their own words with guidance and a Fix and resubmit button.
- Autessa emails you at each stage.
