How to maximize 10DLC rate limits and scores

In the realm of ATT and T-Mobile throughput, adhering to strict guidelines and checklists is crucial for maintaining a seamless experience for users. Brands must meet a set of criteria for their throughput to be approved, ensuring compliance and upholding industry standards. The Brand score plays a significant role in determining ATT throughput for special use cases, which are subject to ATT approval and may vary depending on the specific use case. To guarantee compliance and uphold industry standards for both ATT and T-Mobile, Brands must ensure that their registration and campaign information is consistent across all platforms.

  • Verifying that the website domain matches the email domain

  • Providing detailed campaign descriptions
  • Following industry regulations
  • Avoiding disallowed use cases

As both carriers strive to maintain high-quality user experiences and protect their networks from potential misuse, following these strict checks and criteria is essential for a smooth and reliable messaging experience.
