Text Messaging Registration

Phone carriers make every business register before it can text customers. This form collects everything that registration needs.
It takes about 20 minutes. If your business has an EIN, have the IRS letter (CP 575 or 147C) handy and type names and addresses exactly the way they appear on it. A small mismatch is the most common reason carriers reject a registration.
Near the end there are a few short pieces of text to add to your website. Carriers check your site before they approve you, so those parts matter as much as the rest.
