As the telecommunications industry faces increasing regulatory scrutiny and the fight against robocalls and spam continues to evolve, businesses that engage in voice calling campaigns must comply with The Campaign Registry (TCR). Established to improve transparency and ensure responsible calling practices, the TCR registration process is mandatory for businesses to continue using A2P (Application-to-Person) messaging and calling services.
To help your business stay compliant and avoid costly penalties, here’s a detailed overview of the TCR registration requirements:
Before registering your campaign, you will need to provide accurate and up-to-date business information, including:
Why it’s Important: Having accurate and verifiable business details ensures that your company is legitimate and eligible to register campaigns through TCR. It also helps prevent misuse of the registration system by fraudulent entities.
You must define the use case for the campaign you're registering. TCR requires businesses to specify the nature of the messages or calls being sent. Common use cases include:
Why it’s Important: Accurate use case identification ensures that your campaign is categorized correctly, which can affect your registration fees, routing, and message throughput. Misclassifying your use case can lead to delays or rejections.
TCR registration requires businesses to confirm that they:
Why it’s Important: Opt-in and opt-out protocols are central to ensuring compliance with laws such as the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and the TRACED Act. Failure to adhere to these consent and opt-out requirements can lead to fines and legal action.
Businesses need to provide detailed information about the numbers or sender IDs used for A2P messaging. This includes:
Why it’s Important: TCR requires businesses to register each number associated with their A2P campaigns to ensure transparency and avoid number spoofing, which can lead to your messages being flagged as spam.
In some cases, you may be asked to provide sample message content or an overview of your messaging strategy. This helps the registry ensure that your communications are in line with best practices, particularly around the use of language and consumer protections.
Why it’s Important: TCR's review of your message content ensures compliance with industry standards and helps prevent abuse, such as sending unsolicited or misleading messages that could be flagged as spam.
TCR charges a registration fee for each campaign. These fees can vary depending on factors such as the use case, the number of campaigns being registered, and your business’s volume of messaging. In addition, service providers may charge additional fees for compliance services.
Why it’s Important: Proper budgeting for TCR registration fees helps your business plan for ongoing costs and maintain compliance without surprises.
