What messaging customers get

A2P 10DLC support

VoiceTel is the messaging transport. Customers handle their own A2P 10DLC brand and campaign registration through TCR; we route the traffic and surface delivery events.
Inbound and outbound SMS/MMS

Support application messaging flows with inbound message handling, outbound sends, and webhook or email delivery to customer systems.
Delivery visibility

Expose delivery receipts and message status events to reconcile application state with handset delivery results.
High-volume review

For large workloads, route planning, throughput, carrier fees, and campaign constraints are reviewed before cutover.

SMS-enable any number

SMS-enable any number, even one you didn't get from us.

If you (or your customer) own a phone number on a different carrier, VoiceTel can SMS-enable it. Sign a Letter of Authorization, we handle the carrier coordination, and the number stays where it is for voice. Useful when a customer can't move their voice service but wants application messaging on the same DID.

10DLC registration guide

SMS-enabling a number whose voice service stays with another carrier. Voice — stays with your carrier: Your phone system (unchanged), Current carrier (number stays here), Caller (phone network). Messaging — through VoiceTel: Your app (inbound webhook), VoiceTel (SMS-enabled via LOA), Customer handset (SMS · MMS). Sign an LOA; VoiceTel coordinates with the current carrier. Delivery receipts: handset delivery results back to your app.
