What it is<\/h2>\n

US carriers only carry business texts from a registered brand. Before your first text can go out, your business (the brand) and what you will send (a campaign) both have to be verified by the registry. Text registration is where you fill that in. It only appears in Settings for accounts that have texting.<\/p>\n

Where to find it<\/h2>\n

Settings > Compliance > Text registration<\/p>\n
