Maintaining compliance with industry regulations is essential, especially when managing communication channels like phone numbers. To support this, Aircall now offers compliance status visibility for A2P10DLC messaging registration in the United States and toll-free messaging registrations in the United States and Canada via a dedicated API endpoint.

This new feature allows Aircall customers to easily check the compliance and registration status of their phone numbers, ensuring all communications meet A2P10DLC and toll-free requirements.

Understanding compliance

A2P10DLC (Application-to-Person 10 Digit Long Code) and toll-free regulations help protect consumers and maintain transparency in business communications. Complying with these rules not only prevents potential fines or penalties but also builds credibility and trust with your audience.
