This article contains information about AT&T 10DLC. To review requirements set by other carriers or learn more about 10DLC as a whole, check out our 10DLC Overview.

AT&T has created a class-based system with different fee amounts depending on the class assigned to a given campaign during the registration process. AT&T has also selected The Campaign Registry (TCR) as a third-party vendor to run their campaign registries. Bandwidth customers can choose to either register their A2P campaigns with TCR directly or work with Bandwidth to register campaign information with TCR.

AT&T's grace period for registration ended on March 1, 2022.  For the most up-to-date information on surcharges please refer to our article What are carrier surcharges and how are they applied?

Below are the classifications established by TCR and AT&T. For use case definitions and information about the 10DLC registration process, please our 10DLC brand and campaign registration overview.

Note: Special use cases will require additional vetting. The classification process and risk classification are proprietary to TCR.
