Our TCR has been denied 2x now. Do you have direct person for us to work with to get approval? We are doing our diligence to be in compliance with no help and support. Our campaign is not unsolicited We are replying to a request.

Dealing with similar issues, no one seems to have any idea what they're talking about on this TCR Campaign stuff. I'm about to cancel Ring Central and instead get a Dual Sim Phone, you may want to look into that as an option as well if your intent was to not use your personal phone for your small business like we are.

I have called Ring Central support multiple times. We have completed their TCR campaign requests and keep getting rejected. I have a four year college degree and MBA and I simply can NOT understand what they want! We talk with vendors, employees and other people everyday via text that we now cannot. I just got off the phone with one of their TCR "specialists" and to the very best I could understand is that I need to submit a form (they don't tell you what form or what this "form" needs to say) but I am supposed to fill out said form and tell them EVERY SINGLE person we text past, present and future. Not only that, but again to the best I can understand these people, they expect us to submit a form for any NEW person we come across that we may text.

It is my guess is that this entire TCR campaign crap is about stopping SPAM text messaging. We communicate, we don't solicit, market or request information from anyone. We are using it for just general everyday conversation use such as vendor to vendor or employee to employee communication and nothing else.

This entire process was not thought out and it's implementation is absolute abortion

We are just going to look for another provider.

DO NOT USE RING CENTRAL!! RUN AWAY!!!

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE

I have submitted an email to community.support@ringcentral.com based on this thread. I am also getting denials. We just plain need to text, I didn't think we would need it, another way for issues w/ employees, however we now have a deaf client and we need texting capability ASAP.

Highly recommend chatting with an agent. They can help with work-arounds here.

Hi all,

 

I’ll share a little of what I know about TCR registration: 

 

First, TCR registration is a requirement no matter which cloud provider you choose 8X8, Vonage, Zoom, etc., and not all providers offer SMS/MMS, and if they do, it’s not with a unified number for calling, fax & text, as RingCentral. 

 

So basically, you create a “Brand” which doesn’t take very long, and then you create the “Campaign”.

The campaign doesn't require you to identify each user/number that you intend to text with from the campaign, you’re identifying which types of messages that you intend to text.

 

Lastly, mobile carriers require all business SMS user to register with The Campaign Registry (TCR). The rejections don’t come from RingCentral, but from the TCR itself, as the TCR is not a RingCentral entity.

 

Here are some links to additional information, hopefully they’re helpful:
