A2P Registration now automatically includes Secondary Vetting

Twilio continues to streamline registration with US Carriers for Long Code Messaging (A2P 10DLC). All A2P brand registrations are now subject to an additional $40 one-time vetting fee. Twilio will automate the vetting process and cover the vetting fee for primary Brands until October 1, 2021 and Secondary Brands created for ISVs until August 21, 2021.


With automated secondary vetting, you will benefit from:

  1. Increased daily messaging limits to T-Mobile. See the article ‘T-Mobile daily message limits for long code messaging with A2P 10DLC’ for details.
  2. Increased throughput on your campaigns since secondary vetting will ensure accuracy of information and maximizing the TCR Score. See more details in our support article ‘Message throughput (MPS) and Trust Scores for A2P 10DLC in the U.S.’

There is no special action needed from customers to benefit from secondary vetting after this change, it will automatically be triggered for all brands registering for US A2P compliance.
