Decoding Toll-Free Verification

You’ll Learn:
  • What exactly toll-free verification is and who needs to go through the process
  • Why this change is taking place
  • What will happen to toll-free messaging traffic that isn’t verified after September 30
  • The knowns and unknowns around the September 30 date
  • How Bandwidth is assisting businesses with the toll-free verification process

As business text messaging continues to grow in popularity, regulations are also shifting to fit the changing landscape. And these shifts are happening so quickly that many business leaders aren’t able to keep up. They’re wondering, “what do these changes mean for me?”

The latest A2P messaging change is the looming toll-free verification date of September 30th. This new requirement states that all toll-free messaging traffic must be “verified” by September 30th or you risk experiencing service interruptions. This requirement will align toll-free messaging with both short codes and 10DLC, so all A2P messaging brands and use cases across channels will be managed, documented, and verified in consistent manners.

Come join Bandwidth for part two of our Registration Roundup series: Decoding Toll-Free Verification. We will talk through some frequently asked questions about toll-free verification and discuss how to navigate this change so that it doesn’t impact your business.
