10DLC stands for "10 digit long code," or standard phone numbers like 123-456-7890. For messages to deliver, carriers require businesses and organizations to register their 10DLC numbers.
To comply with carriers, you need to register your organization (brand) and the use cases (campaigns) you text for. Otherwise, your carrier will start filtering your messages, potentially impacting their delivery.
