SMS Marketing & 10DLC Expert | 10+ Years | High-Volume Campaigns | Compliance | Fast Setup I help businesses set up, run, and scale SMS campaigns — and make sure they're compliant with the carrier rules that determine whether your messages actually get delivered. 10+ years in mobile messaging. Millions of messages sent monthly. End-to-end coverage from strategy and platform setup to 10DLC registration and compliance. ──────────────────────────────────────── 📋 10DLC COMPLIANCE & REGISTRATION I run an SMS marketing and communications company based in the US. 10DLC compliance, registration, and approvals aren't a side service for me — they're core to what I do. I'm not learning the rules from a blog post. I'm dealing with carrier decisions, aggregator updates, and rule changes in real time. When things shift — and they shift often — I already know about it. THE PROBLEM MOST BUSINESSES DON'T SEE COMING Getting rejected is frustrating. Not knowing why is worse. Some campaigns get approved but messages are still blocked because the setup isn't actually compliant end to end. I've gotten campaigns approved that others couldn't get through — and my reviews speak to that directly. I work fast. I know where the friction points are, how carriers and aggregators actually interpret the rules, and how to structure registrations that hold up. What I handle: ✔ 10DLC brand & campaign registration ✔ Toll-Free number verification ✔ Short code compliance ✔ Blocking & filtering — diagnosis and resolution ✔ Compliance audits for existing setups ✔ Opt-in language & compliance documentation ✔ Twilio, GoHighLevel, Telnyx, Simplewire, Plivo, and other major aggregators Note on high-risk traffic: For carrier-flagged categories like cannabis, loans, and adult content, I can provide expert guidance on the current environment and your realistic options, though I can't guarantee specific outcomes. Feel free to reach out with your situation. Please note that my posted rate is if I am providing the SMS service through my company. If you need consulting with another provider my rate is $275 an hour. I also offer 30 min consults for $175. ──────────────────────────────────────── 📱 SMS MARKETING CAMPAIGNS From a single launch campaign to an always-on high-volume program, I handle strategy, execution, and everything in between. ✔ Campaign strategy, setup & execution ✔ Platform access & managed sending ✔ Mobile number lookup & list scrubbing ✔ API & integration support including Zapier ✔ Deliverability monitoring & reporting ✔ High-volume SMS at wholesale rates FAST-TRACK SETUP AVAILABLE For compliant, non-high-risk campaigns: platform access, number provisioning, and everything needed to start sending in 48 hours. Premium service, priced accordingly — ideal for businesses that need to move fast without cutting corners on compliance. Industries served: E-commerce & Retail · Real Estate & Property Management · Media & Publishing Health & Wellness · Financial Services · Personal Services · Home Services Education & Training · Restaurants & Events · Music, Film & TV · Auto ──────────────────────────────────────── Feel free to reach out with questions or to discuss your project. Happy to talk through what you're building and whether I'm the right fit. Looking forward to working with you! Thanks, Steve
