FAQ

SMS registration and FAQs

Who is required to register and by when?
A new regulation from mobile network operators requires all Voxtell customers to register all Voxtell business phone numbers used to send text messages. 
Why do I need to do this?
Due to recent industry regulations created to reduce spam and unwanted text messages, all businesses must register and submit campaign information for all phone numbers used for texting.

Registering your campaign and staying compliant with the latest industry regulations helps ensure the deliverability of your text messages. In addition, registered campaigns help prevent your caller ID from appearing as spam.
What if I don’t register my numbers?
Failure to register will result in texting/SMS being disabled on your account. You won’t be able to send SMS to your customers after March 31, 2023.
What happens after I register?
The registration process takes anywhere between 5-20 business days. Once registration is completed, you’ll be notified by the Voxtell Team.

While registration is being processed, you may continue to send text messages as usual.
