With our updated console experience you are now seeing a registration Name field for your registration. This field is set to "–" as we do not manually backfill any of your service values to prevent interruption to your service and let you maintain your security posture. A registration Name is an optional friendly name field that can be updated using the tags on the registration details page. For more information on how to add a Name tag, see Change your registration's name.

AWS End User Messaging SMS’s vendors perform a manual review processes on 10DLC (10 Digit Long Code) campaigns to address SMS spam concerns raised by US carriers. Reviews are triggered when a number is associated to a 10DLC campaign. Reviews take at least 4 to 6 weeks to process.

When you register a 10DLC campaign, you provide a description of your use case, as well as the message templates that you plan to use. Before you can create and register a 10DLC campaign, you must first register your company. For information on registering your company, see 10DLC brand registration form.

      Tip

      Your customers can reply to your messages with the word "HELP" to learn more about the messages that they're receiving from you. They can also reply "STOP" to opt-out of receiving messages from you. The US mobile carriers require you to provide responses to both of these keywords.

      The following is an example of a HELP response that complies with the requirements of the US mobile carriers:

      ExampleCorp Account Alerts: For help call 1-888-555-0142 or go to example.com. Msg&data rates may apply. Text STOP to cancel.

      The following is an example of a compliant STOP response:

      You are unsubscribed from ExampleCorp Account Alerts. No more messages will be sent. Reply HELP for help or call 1-888-555-0142.

      Your responses to these keywords must contain 160 characters or fewer.
