## 10DLC Advantages

Proper registration and use of 10DLC has many advantages over unregistered texting.

### Enhanced Deliverability

Most of our customers are seeing 95%+ delivery for registered texts -- significantly higher than unregistered traffic.

### Carrier Interventions

When deliverability issues arise, we are able to work directly with Campaign Registry and the carriers directly to resolve them.

### Reduced Network Access Fees

In most cases, registered traffic is charged a lower per-segment network access fee compared to unregistered traffic.
