Issue: Users need the ability to send a single SMS message to a list of 50 or more phone numbers quickly and efficiently without manually entering each number.

Background: Due to increasing regulations and consumer protections, carriers have implemented strict guidelines to prevent SMS spam and fraud. As of 2022, businesses must register their brand and messaging campaigns through a process known as The Campaign Registry (TCR) before sending bulk SMS messages.

1. Register Your Business and Campaign:

   • Businesses sending SMS at scale must complete the TCR registration process.

   • RingCentral reviews applications before submitting them for carrier approval.

2. Use High-Volume SMS Solutions:
