10-Digit Local Numbers Explained
What Is a High-Volume A2P Local Number?
A high-volume A2P local number is a 10-digit local number that has been A2P-enabled to send more messages, faster, and more reliably. A2P is an industry term that means “Application to Person” and indicates that a platform or an automated service is the source of a text message.
What Is a 10DLC Local Number?
10DLC stands for 10-Digit Long Code, but you may know it as the standard business phone number for North America. While a 10DLC number may look like a standard 10-digit local number, these numbers differ in that they’re registered with carriers specifically to support A2P messaging and ensure greater protections for users.
