Messaging compliance registration
Carriers stopped letting unregistered business texts through. If your messages show as delivered and nobody's getting them, that's why — and it's a paperwork problem with a specific fix.
We diagnose which registration you actually need, file it in your own account, and manage it through carrier approval.

What's actually happening
Between December 2024 and February 2025, AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon stopped filtering unregistered application-to-person traffic and started blocking it. Where messages still pass, they carry a surcharge — roughly a cent per SMS, double that for MMS. US Cellular has since joined the same framework.
Your platform reports the send. The carrier drops it. Nothing in your dashboard says so.
The fix
Registration: your business gets a brand record, your texting program gets a campaign record, and both live in The Campaign Registry, which carriers check before deciding whether your message is a message.
It's not hard. It's exacting. Most rejections come from a mismatch between what you claimed on the form and what a reviewer found on your live website — and the form gives you no warning that your website is the thing being graded.

What we do
The answers decide everything after — including which parts can never be changed once filed.
Axis · entity
Sole proprietor, standard brand, low-volume standard. This sets your ceiling: a sole-proprietor registration caps at one campaign and one phone number, permanently. Getting this wrong on day one caps a business that was going to grow.
Axis · use case
Mixed, low-volume mixed, customer care, or one of the special use cases that require vetting. Use case cannot be changed after submission — correcting it means a new campaign, a new fee, and re-attaching every number. This is the single most expensive field on the form.
Axis · consent
Web form, keyword, multi-channel, offline, verbal. This is the axis a reviewer verifies against your live site, and it's where most rejections originate.
Intake diagnoses all three, then we file.
Scope
How it runs
One hour. Your three axes, your registration path, and what a reviewer will flag on your current site. You leave with the answer whether or not you go further. $97, and it credits toward turnkey if you do.
We review your live opt-in form and privacy policy against current standards and tell you exactly what has to change before filing. The site is the number-one rejection surface — fixing it first is most of the job.
Brand registration, then campaign registration, in your own account. You are the registrant of record. You keep the credentials and the console.
We manage the submission until it's accepted. If it's rejected, we work the specific error code and resubmit — up to two resubmissions at the flat rate.
Your registered configuration documented, plus the maintenance items that keep it registered.
Where we work
Registration runs the same chain everywhere: your business, through a registration channel, to a messaging provider, to The Campaign Registry, to the carriers. The fields are the same.
Registration chain diagram. Your business submits through a registration channel — either a provider console or a platform wizard — to a messaging provider, which files to The Campaign Registry, the registry of record that carriers check before delivering. A rejection branches off the registry step: the specific error code is worked and the submission is resubmitted, up to twice at the flat rate.

Twilio, Bandwidth, Telnyx, Sinch, Vonage, Plivo, Infobip. Filed hands-on in your account.
GoHighLevel LC Phone, SimpleTexting, EZ Texting, Podium and comparable products that carry registration inside their own UI. We work the wizard alongside you, screen-share, same flat price.
Twilio is where the deepest bench is. GoHighLevel traffic rides Twilio infrastructure underneath its own wizard, so that knowledge carries over intact.
Proof
Registrations
Six approved brand and campaign registrations
Across six distinct legal entities, filed and carried through carrier review.
Campaign classes
Both mixed and low-volume mixed campaign types directly evidenced
Not the same registration repeated — different campaign classes approved.
Recoveries
Two documented rejection-to-approval recoveries
One a seven-cause teardown of an opt-in-information rejection, resubmitted and approved the same day. One a combined-consent rejection on an already-filed campaign, rescued at the description level — no new campaign, no use-case change, no site rebuild.
Reference base
A maintained runbook and knowledge base behind the work
Current on the 2025–26 fee and identity changes, the vacated one-to-one consent rule, and the carrier-enforcement posture that outlived it. Most published material on this subject predates all of it.
That second recovery is worth a sentence more. The prevailing assumption was that a combined-consent rejection on a mixed-family campaign required registering a new campaign at full cost. It didn't.
“Testing that is the difference between a method and a guess.”

Diagnostic consult
$97 — one hour, credits toward turnkey
Turnkey registration
$699 flat — the core path, scope-capped
Everything else
Quoted after diagnosis
Carrier and registry fees pass through at cost.
Most operators qualify for the flat $699. Complex paths — offline or verbal opt-in, special use cases, rejection rescues, suspensions — are quoted after diagnosis, because the resubmission count on those is genuinely unbounded and pretending otherwise would be dishonest pricing.
If intake finds your situation unregistrable as it stands, you get a refund less the $97 consult and an honest explanation of what would have to change.

The full method for $47 — diagnose your registration, file using entries modeled on approved submissions, and know the rescue path if you're rejected. Download it now and be working in minutes. If you'd rather talk your specific situation through first, the one-hour diagnostic consult is $97 — and it credits toward turnkey if you go that route.
