SMS

My company is small, and we primarily use Glips for messaging; we never use SMS text. Do we still need to create a campaign? According to what I read, if we register/create a campaign, but don't use text periodically, we could (and probably) will be fined. Seems silly.

I have created Brand (Brand ID BCJXZQ1). Its says it registered within couple of minutes. It is almost 24hrs. How much time it will take to register.

We submitted our W9 with a ring central transaction coordinator and they advised the brand was unable to be verified due to the W-9. At this point we have been trying to comply with the TCR since January and have had no luck or someone willing to talk and advise why we are failing. Is there someone we can get to better explain why a W-9 provided to Ring Central would be unable to be verified? We are at a severe risk of losing texting, something that is a direct result of a broken system rather than us as a customer not providing everything required.

Having read the notices that we had until 3/31 to register, I began the registration process 2 weeks ago. Once I started the process, we intermittently had issues with newly provisioned numbers being unable to use SMS. Once my registration was complete but before my campaigns could be set up and accepted, SMS across our entire company became intermittent (per user not per message). Now that our first campaign is registered and I have added 40+ numbers to it, not one single number from our account can send SMS. After contacting support, we have been informed that it may take 3 business days for the campaign to be completely registered with the numbers. In the meantime, we are completely unable to send messages. Seems like RingCentral could stick to the 3/31 date and not start turning off SMS in the interim since we have no control over how fast this happens. Or at least warn that you will lose all ability to send messages while the process is pending.

I originally submitted the PDF version of the TCR Registration form on 1/26, and the form has been stuck in pre-approval since. I re-sumbitted through the admin portal on 3/05, and my Brand was approved, but now my Campaign is stuck in Pending. RingCentral support says I need to wait and additional 20-30 business days again? Completely over the edge frustrated that the only answer that is available is waiting. Is there anyone who is in a similar situation? I will be waiting for FOUR months to get texting set up, which was not advertised when I signed up for the service back in January.

Help, I created a support ticket, but the TCR registration menu is not showing up. Anyone else have this issue? Logged in as the admin.

As others have noted, we only communicate via SMS with clients of our business. The registration from doesn't allow for basic SMS texting. But yet we are to provide opt-in and opt-out words and sample communications. How can you say you will follow the requirements when the requirements to match the business practice?

When/where can I see the status of our TCR/SMS registration?

I'm finally taking care of our 10DLC registration, and I've gotten to the part in the process where I have to explain how we're "obtaining consent" from our customers. But, here's the thing... We are NOT using SMS for anything other than communication [duh, I guess]. We aren't actually doing any marketing or informative campaigns, we're just using it to say things like "it looks like you're not on

We have been waiting for completion of our TCR application that was submitted on 2/6/23. If our TCR application isn't processed before 3/31/23, will all users lose SMS capabilities?

This TCR is a bit confusing. I understand some compaigns like to use SMS for sending bulk advertisement. We don't use it for that at all. We only use occassionaly texting between clients or people we work with. These are not "campaigns". Do we still have to register for all this or is there a simpler registration for less complicated use?

SMS is still not working for new requests/numbers. I have two tickets opened and neither are being updated with any type of response from RingCentral Support. We are being billed for SMS but it is not working. We submitted the appropriate TCR forms well over a month ago and I confirmed with RingCentral last month that the form was received. This TCR rollout has been an absolute nightmare and the support we have received has been even worse. Regretting that we ever moved our phone system over to RingCentral.

I have no Enhanced Business SMS > 10DLC Registration under phone system. How do I go forward and set up my brand? RingCentral's support is the WORST ever! No response and no help at all.

We do not plan on creating mass marketing campaign, only person 2 person messaging. Do we need to have consent from recipients from outside our organization ?

We do not want to use the SMS text feature. We've tested and if someone texts us it looks like the text has been received, even though we do not receive it. Is there a way to reject inbound texts or send back a failed delivery notice?

We do not use SMS for marketing. We only use SMS for regular daily client conversation. Do we need to signup and pay for campaign ?

We use the Message function within RingCentral app, to message internally. If we don't register would this function be taken away or charged for?

So after an email conversation with The Campaign Registry's account manager Brandon Ramirez, he states that if SMS is not being delivered from a phone number that belongs to RingCentral to whatever carrier, then that is a problem at RingCentral, and that RC has to solve it. Brandon infers that TCR is not a gate keeper for an SMS message to be sent from RC to a carrier, in that the carrier IS NOT checking with the TCR for a GO/NOGO list until after the deadline. My site currently cannot use SMS on just one (and only) new line we ported in from Verizon in January. I am talking SMS between two RingCentral telephone numbers, in the same account, does not work to this one number, in or out. All of our other SMS from our account is working for now, though our campaign is still in a pending state from my RC admin interface. Has anyone else had any conversation with The Campaign Registry, and if so, are you receiving the same messaging? Thanks.

We are getting errors trying to text to Verizon users, saying "messsage undelivered" even though we have completed the TCR registration. Anyone else having similar problems?

Just needing clarification. The limit of 49 lines applies to all the numbers we use for our RC account. For example, we have 2 phone numbers registered with RC but really only use one of those numbers for our business. We are required to list both of those numbers. We are not required to list any of our client's phone numbers, correct?

We submitted a PDF TCR form back in January and it sat inactive for some time. Once we finally heard back, we were told something was entered incorrectly, and had to resubmit. It then sat inactive for another month, and we're now being told that we have to submit via the Admin portal and will STILL be required to wait the additional 20 business days. There's really no way to escalate/speed up these TCR requests??? It's one thing if users are failing to submit the required items by the deadline, but we are not nearly the only people who've suffered from this extremely poor rollout. I've called the support number given to me to reach the "TCR Team", and have been unable to get through for an hour now.

I keep getting reminders to register for SMS usage, but my account is not owned by a business - its my residential service.What am I supposed to do to keep using SMS (< 10 a year)?

My business uses conversational SMS — always initiated by the consumer, and never used for advertising nor any automated API. TCR documentation states implied consent is sufficient in this case, but it seems that my campaign would be rejected if I were to just rely on that?Is it sufficient to add a clause to our terms and conditions on the business’ website stating that consent to receive conversational SMS to communicate with the business is implied, and then for opting out to have both (1) a paper form available in-office for customers to fill out AND (2) customers can text “opt out” to the business’ number and we will mark their files as do-not-text?

Do I need to only submit campaigns that go through ring central or do I also need to include text campaigns that come from our Square marketing platform, and our scheduling site sends out automatic apt reminders but not from ring central. Do I just show the usage of ring central?

So Let me get this straight..I join RingCentral, pay monthly fees for however long it takes to get a TCR approved? I'm on Grasshopper now. not the greatest service, but I can sign in, get a new number and start texting all the customers and truck drivers I do business with. Why is Ring Central so Complicated?
