Types of numbers
A2P 10DLC (USA/Canada Only)
This is short for Application-to-Person 10-Digit-Long-Code. Which is basically what you think of as a local telephone number such as +1 555-555-5555. Sending SMS using this type of number requires that you verify your brand and that your messages are expected. This is a highly secure and regulated way to send SMS and thus there are rules and limitations on what type of messages you can send. As long as you are sending information about your venue, performances, tickets, updates, this is a great option. One drawback is that due to the amount of verification required, it may take longer to provision a new number. WordFly can provision a new number for your organization or find out if your existing number is verified for porting.
Alphanumeric Sender ID (UK/EU/AUS Only)
This is your SMS “from name”. It appears when subscribers receive messages from you. You might consider matching it to a social handle name. It can be 11 characters or less, with no spaces.
Getting started
WordFly SMS requires a few steps to enable. There is a $250.00 USD startup fee that covers configurations, verification, number provisioning or porting and working with carriers to verify your brand. If there are no issues with your verification, number portability or brand certification we can usually have you up and running in 2-3 weeks.
