Getting your number approved

Your number needs a website before it's allowed to text anybody.

Before a carrier will let your business number send a text, a reviewer opens your website looking for a privacy policy and an opt-in page a scanner can read word for word. It's the slowest part of getting started and it has nothing to do with your phone. We do it with you.

Included in every plan

What you get, at no extra charge

  • The checklist. Every item a carrier reviewer looks for, in plain English, with the exact wording that has to appear and where it has to sit.
  • The form snippet. One block of code your web person drops in. It's the same opt-in form that's already approved on our own number, so the wording is known good.
  • A scan of your site before we submit. We fetch your pages and read them the way the reviewer's scanner reads them, character for character, and tell you what's missing.
  • Monitoring after you're approved. If a page moves or somebody redesigns the site, we catch it before the carrier does.
  • Carrier and registry fees at cost. We pass them through at what we pay for them. No markup.

Why we built this at all

Vonta's own number took three rounds to get approved, and every problem was on the website, not the phone. One of them was a sentence that was on the page but wrapped across two lines, so the scanner never saw it. Each round is about a week of waiting, and during that week your number can't text a single customer.
Doing it yourself works, and the checklist really is everything you need. It just tends to take more than one submission. If you'd rather not touch any of it, we can set the whole thing up on your own domain for you, or build you a one-page site if you don't have one at all. Both are priced below.

The opt-in page is the same either way, on wording that's already cleared review. What changes is whose domain it sits on.

Or hand the whole thing to us

The free checklist above genuinely works. These are for people who would rather not spend their evening on it.

Do it yourself

Free
Everything listed above, at no charge, on any plan.
  • The checklist, the form snippet and the pre-submission scan
  • Monitoring after you're approved
  • Carrier and registry fees passed through at cost

Worth knowing: on this path your opt-in page sits on a Vonta address rather than your own, and the policy wording is whatever you write. Reviewers query both from time to time, so plan for the possibility of a second attempt.

Compliance Pack

We fill it in and stand it up on your own domain.
  • Policy pages and the opt-in page served from your domain, not ours
  • You add one DNS record. We do the rest
  • We read the pages back the way the reviewer's scanner reads them, before you submit
  • Kept monitored for as long as you're a subscriber

These are the same templates we use for our own carrier registration. They are templates, not legal advice, and no attorney has reviewed them. If you want legal assurance, have your own attorney read them first.
