⚠️ Important Announcement
Due to an upstream provider delay in A2P 10DLC registration, SMS messaging may be unavailable for several weeks beginning September 2023.
A2P 10DLC is a mandatory regulation enforced by carriers (like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile) that requires organizations sending SMS messages from an application to register and receive approval.
The good news is that Funraise has already begun the process to complete A2P 10DLC registration for your organization and you will not need to take any action in most cases. That bad news is that the approval process has been delayed with upstream providers due to the volume of registrations before the deadline. We expect that the majority of organizations will be compliant within September. As soon as your organization has been registered and approved, you'll be able send send SMS messages again.
