What is Toll-free Messaging Verification?

Toll-free messaging verification is a new industry-wide protocol surrounding sending SMS / MMS text messages from toll-free numbers.

In an effort to combat spam and fraud text messaging, the Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are requiring every business that sends one (1) or more text message from a toll-free number to register their company, their toll-free number, and indicate the types of messages they are sending.

Each company will go through a vetting process in order to gain approval to continue to send text messages from their toll-free numbers.

 

Toll-free Number Messaging Verification

As of January 31, 2024, any unregistered toll-free number that attempts to send SMS / MMS messages will be blocked.  This means that any number that is not verified will have its traffic blocked, even if the number is ‘pending’ verification status.
