Free 10DLC registration on every Phone Sniper plan
We file your 10DLC business registration with the carriers and pay the fees, so your first month costs just your plan. Here's what's included, what carriers charge, and what happens if a registration is turned down.
Before your numbers can text a single seller, the carriers need your business registered. That's 10DLC, and it comes with a form, a carrier review and a stack of fees. Starting today, your 10DLC registration is free on every Phone Sniper plan, from Starter at $49 a month up to Enterprise. You fill out one form in your dashboard. We file it with every carrier and pay the fees.
What carriers charge, and what you pay
Here's what a 10DLC filing costs at the carriers today, and what's left for you to pay:
| Carrier fee | Normal cost | You pay |
|---|---|---|
| Brand registration (one time) | $4.50 | $0 |
| Campaign review (each time it's reviewed) | $15 | $0 for your first filing |
| Campaign fee, first 3 months (billed up front) | $30 | $0 |
| Campaign fee after that | $10 a month | Covered by your plan |
That's about $50 in fees before you send your first text, which most texting tools pass straight through to you. We'd rather you spend it on a mailer.
How it works
- Pick a plan. The free registration comes with every plan. Starter is $49 a month for 1,000 texts and one local number.
- Fill out one form. In your dashboard, open Numbers → Business registration. It takes about 10 minutes, and every field has an example. Our step-by-step registration guide shows a filled-in example of every field.
- Check it before you submit. The approval readiness check looks at what carrier reviewers look at: your legal name and EIN, whether your website and opt-in page load, and whether your samples have your business name and "Reply STOP." Fix anything it flags and watch the score go up.
- We confirm it with you and file it. We file your brand and campaign with the carriers and pay the fees. You can follow the status on your Numbers page.
- Start texting. Carrier review usually takes 1–2 weeks. Your numbers start sending as soon as it's approved.
What if carriers turn it down?
Sometimes they do. The most common reasons are a legal name or EIN that doesn't match IRS records exactly, a website or opt-in page that doesn't load, or an opt-in description that doesn't match what's on your site.
If that happens, your registration status changes to Needs changes, and we tell you exactly what the carriers flagged. Fix the details in the same form. When you're ready, pay the $15 refiling fee with the Pay $15 to refile button on the same page, and we file it again. The $15 covers the carriers' fee to review your campaign a second time.
The best way to avoid that fee is to get it right the first time. Run the readiness check, use live links, and describe how people really agree to hear from you. The registration guide covers the six things reviewers check.
Common questions
Which plans include it? All of them: Starter, Basic, Pro, Business and Enterprise.
Is there a catch? One filing is included. If carriers reject it and you need to refile, that's $15. Plans are billed monthly with no contract.
I already have a 10DLC registration somewhere else. Tell us when you sign up. If it's with Telnyx, we can connect it to your Phone Sniper numbers instead of filing a new one.
Do I pay again when I add numbers? No. New numbers are added to your approved campaign at no charge.
Does registration mean I can text anyone? No. 10DLC is approval to send business texts to people who agreed to hear from you. It doesn't change what the TCPA and state laws allow. See our guide to TCPA texting rules for real estate investors.
