  30486: Toll Free verification rejection - HELP keyword response must meet
  requirements
level: ERROR
product: Programmable Messaging
---

## Description

The Toll-Free phone number verification submission has been reviewed and it was rejected. Messaging traffic on this Toll-Free number is blocked until it's verified.

Verification is one component of ensuring A2P SMS is used by businesses in a legal and compliant manner. The review process looks at the business sending messaging (not the software powering it), the use case, sample content, the web presence, the opt-in/consent collected and associated website terms and privacy policies.

### Possible Causes

The HELP keyword response provided in your submission does not meet compliance requirements. Common issues include:

- Missing customer contact details (phone number, email, or website)
- Missing your business/brand name
- Incomplete or unclear support information
- Non-compliant formatting or content

### Possible Solutions

- Update your HELP response to include:

  - Your business/brand name
  - Customer contact details (phone, email, or website)
  - Clear instructions for getting assistance
  - Hours of availability (if applicable)

- Ensure the response is concise yet complete
