The new A2P10DLC registration was set up to protect consumers from scammers and other entities that abuse the telephone system. One of the ways that they are making sure they can catch and eliminate “bad players“ is to register, monitor, and if necessary limit how business send SMS communications. The number of text messages sent per day is a limit that is imposed per business per account.

These fees originate from mobile carriers in order to register and monitor your brand. Our service provider passes this fee on to us, so we are simply passing this fee on to you. This is a new US regulation imposed by phone carriers, and will be required regardless of what CRM or SaaS program you use.

Starfish Ad Age provides these tools to register, and is does not make any profit from brand or campaign registration fees.

Texting through a system like StarLeads is monitored, and at times limited, by A2P regulations and our phone provider LC Phone. These limitations are set in place by carriers in order to reduce spamming via text.

New accounts will have a gradually increased limit each day until their first full week of texting. Each day, the limit must be reached to proceed to the next tier of SMS capacity.
