SHAKEN/STIR
SHAKEN/STIR uses encrypted digital signatures to share information about the caller to each provider along a call’s path from caller to recipient, such as the caller’s identity and whether the caller has the right to use the phone number they provided as the caller ID.
Register all your existing phone numbers on your business profile. Needed for SHAKEN/STIR and CNAM.
A2P Messaging (SMS)
All SMS and MMS messages sent to U.S. phone numbers using 10DLC phone numbers must be sent via a registered application-to-person (A2P) Campaign. Messages sent using unregistered phone numbers will be subject to a gradual increase in message blocking by Twilio or carriers.
In order to prevent this, Fastcall needs to create an SMS campaign to assign your phone numbers.
For that, we need the following info provided:
- A description of your SMS use case
- 2 SMS examples
- Explain how end users consent to receive messages
