How much money did you waste last month on text messages that never even reached your customers?
Every business using A2P 10DLC messaging knows the frustration. You schedule a campaign, hit an invisible carrier rate limit, and suddenly your messages start failing. The worst part is that you still get charged for every single one of those failed attempts, and then you have to pay again to resend them. It’s a huge waste of money and creates a terrible customer experience.
Wait – What is A2P 10DLC?
A2P 10DLC is specifically designed for 10-digit long code numbers, which are standard phone numbers with a local area code. The “10DLC” in its name literally stands for “10-digit long code.” The purpose of this system is to regulate and legitimize the use of these familiar-looking local numbers for business messaging, which was previously a gray area and often led to spam and filtering issues.
Carriers Place Limits on Text Frequency
In the world of A2P 10DLC text messaging, carriers set limits on how many messages you can send at once. A2P 10DLC is the system in the U.S. that lets businesses send messages from their applications to customers. Exceeding these limits can result in failed messages, service disruptions, and incurring charges for messages that never arrive.
But don’t worry—VirtualText has you covered.
We use smart message queueing, an advanced technology built specifically for A2P 10DLC messaging. It intelligently manages your sending rates, so you’ll never exceed your approved carrier rate limits.
- Automatic Lookup: Before sending a message, smart queueing automatically identifies the recipient’s mobile carrier.
- Rate Limit Check: It then verifies the specific rate limits applicable to the sender’s brand and the particular messaging campaign.
- Intelligent Queuing: Messages that would otherwise fail due to exceeding these limits are automatically placed into a queue.
- Optimal Deliverability: Once the carrier’s rate limit resets, the queued messages are sent, ensuring high deliverability rates.
Smart Message Queueing to the Rescue!
- Zero failed messages due to carrier limits
- No extra charges for resending
- 99%+ deliverability rates
