As of September 1, 2023, any business looking to send SMS to customers in the United States must register for some version of SMS compliance. For those businesses looking to use local phone numbers, this means registering for 10DLC.
As a part of 10DLC registration, businesses select which 10DLC package makes the most sense for their needs but what happens when we need to send more? Good problem to have! We can help.

Limits Exceeded
If you've seen this warning in your Salesmsg account, this means your daily SMS volume has exceeded the carrier limits of your current 10DLC package. Not to worry, we've made this process as easy as possible to submit to the Salesmsg Customer Support team to request the upgrade to 10DLC as soon as possible.
What are the available types of campaigns and use cases available?
There are the following types of campaigns:
Low Volume Mixed
Standard Campaign (Recommended)
Sole Proprietor Campaign
Each has a number of available use cases supported by Salesmsg.
Standard Campaign Use Cases
Campaign use case | Description |
Account Notifications | Notifications about the status of an account or related to being a part of an account |
Customer Care | Support, account management, and other avenues of customer interaction |
Delivery Notifications | Information about the status of a delivery |
Higher Education | Message campaigns from colleges, universities, and other educational institutions |
Marketing | Promotional content such as sales and limited-time offers |
Mixed | A campaign that covers multiple use cases such as Customer Care and Delivery Notifications. Note - mixed campaigns are likely to have lower throughput and a higher cost per message. |
Low Volume Mixed Use Case
In addition to the standard "Mixed/Marketing" use case, there is a separate Campaign use case designated as "Low Volume Mixed". This use case is perfect for low daily message volume and throughput requirements. This option supports the same multiple use cases but has a lower monthly fee than a standard Campaign and is fixed at the lowest throughput tier below, regardless of your Trust Score.
Sole Proprietor Campaign Use Case
Sole Proprietor package registration is now available for individuals or small businesses without an EIN sending low-volume messaging. Sole proprietor package is limited to 1 Campaign, 1 phone number per Campaign, and a throughput limit of 1 MPS. Campaign registrations have a one-time $15 Campaign vetting fee and a recurring monthly fee.
