# What is 10DLC?

![notifyre\_united\_states\_flag\_icon\_f8fc3aa8bb](https://support.notifyre.com/hubfs/notifyre_united_states_flag_icon_f8fc3aa8bb.svg)Region Applicable: United States

A 10-digit long code (10DLC) number enables a business to send Application-to-Person (A2P) SMS messages in the United States or receive text messages online via a provider/application like Notifyre.

### Why use a 10DLC number?

10DLC numbers are an affordable option (compared to Short Code numbers) and in conjunction with the required registration of a business's Brand and Campaign, these numbers provide compliance, brand-consistency and higher delivery across business text message sending and receiving.
