Is your business A2P 10DLC ready?
Texts worked in testing — then customers stopped getting reminders and review requests. Tick through 14 carrier checks (brand, EIN, campaign, opt-out, number linking) and see exactly what still blocks delivery before you flip workflows live.
Check each step you have completed
Open your SMS platform’s Trust Center / A2P dashboard alongside this list. Check a box only when that item is truly done — not “in progress.” Your score updates as you go.

Fix these before go-live
Each failed item links to the section in our registration guide that walks through the fix.
Want A2P filed and tested for you?
Registration is the #1 blocker on DIY GoHighLevel setups. We submit brand and campaign, link numbers, and verify delivery on real handsets before handover — usually within one to two weeks.

Turn red items green
This checklist tells you what is missing. Our A2P guide shows how to fix each item on GoHighLevel — brand form fields, campaign samples with STOP language, number linking, and what to do when carriers reject a submission.
- Brand + EIN — legal name exactly as on IRS records
- Campaign samples — real messages with “Reply STOP to opt out”
- Production test — send from your live number before workflows go wide
Sending review requests by SMS? Pair registration with our Google review link generator — get the link first, register A2P before you text customers at scale.
Common questions
What is this A2P 10DLC readiness check?
A self-audit checklist for US business SMS compliance. You confirm each registration step — brand approval, campaign samples, number linking, privacy policy — and get a pass/fail score with links to fix gaps. It does not query carriers; it mirrors what support teams ask when texts stop delivering.
How is this different from the A2P registration guide?
The guide walks you through registration step-by-step on GoHighLevel. This tool is a quick status check: tick what you have done, see what is still missing, and jump to the exact guide section for each failed item. Use both — checklist first, guide to fix.
What score do I need before sending customer SMS?
Every item should pass before you turn on production workflows. Carriers filter unregistered or mismatched traffic even when test messages to your own phone worked. One missing opt-out line in sample messages can reject the whole campaign.
My campaign was rejected — what now?
Fix only what the rejection cites, resubmit, and budget another one to five business days. Do not create a second brand with the same EIN. Our guide covers the top rejection reasons: EIN mismatch, vague use case, missing STOP language, and website/privacy gaps.
Do I need A2P 10DLC if I only email customers?
No — 10DLC applies to SMS from US local numbers. Email-only follow-up, WhatsApp where customers opt in, or not texting US mobiles means you can skip registration for now. The checklist includes a first item to confirm you actually need SMS compliance.
