The landscape of business messaging is evolving, and compliance with industry regulations is becoming increasingly important. At Voiply, we want to ensure that our customers understand the differences between P2P (Peer-to-Peer) messaging and A2P (Application-to-Person) messaging, as well as the impact of 10DLC (10-digit Long Code) compliance on business communications.
Voiply Supports P2P Messaging
Voiply provides P2P (Peer-to-Peer) messaging, which allows for direct communication between users without messages being stored or routed through third-party systems. P2P messaging is ideal for personal and individual business interactions, ensuring fast, secure, and unrestricted messaging.
✅ Instant Message Delivery – No delays due to centralized processing.
✅ Enhanced Privacy & Security – Messages go directly to the recipient without being stored elsewhere.
✅ Reliable Communication – No interference from carrier filtering policies that apply to bulk messaging.
✅ No A2P Compliance Required – Since P2P messaging is person-to-person, it does not fall under A2P regulations or 10DLC requirements.
What Are A2P and 10DLC?
While Voiply supports P2P messaging, businesses that send messages to customers in bulk, for marketing, alerts, transactional updates, or mass texting are subject to A2P and 10DLC regulations.
- A2P (Application-to-Person) messaging refers to messages sent from an application or software system (rather than an individual user) to recipients. This includes mass text messages, marketing promotions, appointment reminders, and customer notifications.
- 10DLC (10-Digit Long Code) is a U.S. regulatory framework designed to enhance message transparency, reduce spam, and improve delivery reliability for A2P business messaging.
Key Changes in Messaging Compliance:
✔️ Businesses must register A2P messaging campaigns under 10DLC regulations.
✔️ Unregistered or non-compliant messages may be blocked or incur additional carrier fees.
How This Affects You
If your messaging is P2P (direct and one-to-one communication), no changes are required, and Voiply fully supports your messaging needs.
However, if you are sending mass text messages, business messages in bulk, or using automated messaging tools, you may need to comply with 10DLC registration to ensure uninterrupted delivery.
