A Comprehensive Resource List for Compliant Business Texting

To maintain the effectiveness of business texting, Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) have established The Campaign Registry (TCR), an organization designed to promote transparency and regulate business messaging. The TCR requires every business intending to text customers to complete an application process and gain approval. This ensures business texting stays efficient and free from spam—preventing the issues that have historically plagued email communication.
