What are the different supported Campaign Types and Use Case Categories for 10DLC registration?

Campaigns provide the carrier networks with information on the types of messages that will be sent using the A2P 10DLC by the Brand.

 

Campaign Types
  • Standard Type: Also known as Declared Type, these are the basic use cases that will not require further vetting or review by the carrier networks for approval. The approval is typically immediate for this type of Campaign.

  • Special Type: Use cases that are sensitive or critical in nature and may require additional vetting and review by the carrier networks before approval. The approval can take up to several weeks for certain Special Campaign Types. Clickatell will guide you through this process to implement any complex special campaigns.
