New Requirements for Text Messaging on U.S. Phone Numbers
1764886500000
Starting December 15, 2025, any new U.S. local phone numbers will not have messaging capabilities enabled by default. This change helps us combat spam and phishing while continuing to build trust with our carrier network.
Will This Affect You?
If you already have U.S. local numbers with messaging, you're all set—nothing changes for you.
New U.S. local numbers purchased after December 15, 2025 will require activation before you can send or receive text messages.
If you plan to purchase new U.S. numbers after December 15th for texting, here's what to expect:
Sending texts to customers? Messaging will activate automatically once you register your campaign with The Campaign Registry (a quick process we can help you with).
Only receiving texts? Reach out to our Carrier Operations team, and we'll enable messaging capabilities for you—no campaign registration required.
