As a result of recent regulation changes, each account sending SMS messages through Lead Docket must register their use case. Businesses that do not register will be subject to increased message filtering starting December 1, 2022, which could affect message deliverability.

Regulation Changes

In early 2021, phone carriers rolled out regulations for messages that are sent from an application to personal cell phones using 10-digit numbers (A2P 10DLC). These regulations are designed to make it easier for businesses to connect with their customers while countering spam over SMS and MMS. 

This year, Lead Docket’s SMS provider will no longer support the original registration method. Therefore, companies must re-register with their business details.

What This Means for You

As part of these regulations, accounts sending SMS messages through the Lead Docket application will need to register for continued SMS services. If a business does not register and continues messaging through Lead Docket, it is likely that they will experience disruption of service. Your messages could be marked as spam or may not be delivered.

Messaging Limits

Once you have registered your Lead Docket account, you will be able to utilize up to 50 phone numbers and send up to 4,000 messages per day without increased message filtering or failures. If you exceed the number of messages, you will begin experiencing delivery failures. 

Note: If you would like to utilize additional phone numbers or send more messages, reach out to your Account Manager to learn more about your options.

How to Register

All businesses using SMS functionality through Lead Docket can begin registration by filling out the form in Lead Docket. Admin users can access the registration form at the top of the Intake Dashboard. To open the form, click Register Now.

Fill out the registration form. Once filled, click Register. The registration process can take one to three days to complete.

Note: Be sure to enter your correct legal business name in the form. The legal name must not be abbreviated in any way and must appear exactly as it is filed with the IRS (US) or the equivalent tax authority in other countries. You can use this service to look up your business details.
