As a result of industry-wide changes, on November 8, 2023, all restricted (formerly called ‘unverified’) toll-free phone numbers will require registration. These verification efforts, along with increased message filtering, help to combat spam and create a trusted messaging ecosystem for you and your customers.
Who Should Register? 🤔
All toll-free numbers from the US/Canada should be registered. This ensures optimal daily sending limits and avoids potential filtering.
What if I don’t register the numbers?
In the future, messages sent through a pending toll-free number will be blocked and subject to messaging fees. Pending messaging limits are also subject to change. Any blocked messages will return Error 30032 or Error 30007.
What happens when my registration is in progress and Will my calls be impacted too?
If the numbers are in review state they would still be able to send messages. This guideline won’t impact any outbound and inbound calls.
