Partnership makes it easy for businesses to navigate the challenging long code text messaging (10DLC) process to reach customers

Raleigh, NC, June 24, 2024 – Commio is pleased to announce that it has been featured in an exclusive case study by Syniverse, a direct connect aggregator (DCA), highlighting efforts to support customers’ long code (10DLC) text messaging registration while ensuring this traffic meets the most current rules and regulations for industry compliance.

“Commio’s U.S.-based team works hard every day to provide businesses with the support they need to get their messaging out,” said Aaron Leon, Commio CEO. “At the same time, it’s important to attest that the campaigns on our network comply with all the current industry requirements and align with our efforts to eliminate non-compliant campaigns. We’re excited to see our work recognized by the industry—particularly by such an important partner.”

Ten-digit long-code messaging is an excellent option for businesses that need to communicate quickly with customers and wish to make their messaging appear “local” by aligning area codes, which increases open rates and conversions. However, industry efforts to eliminate spam have resulted in the need to register brands and campaigns, as well as create a variety of rapidly changing rules around content. While reducing spam is important, the non-stop evolution of 10DLC regulations has left customers confused and frustrated.

“Campaign registration was a huge sea change in the industry,” says Tim McLain, Director of Marketing at Commio. “There was so much resistance to registering and, in the beginning, people ignored it. Then the deadlines started arriving and people were rushing. We had to align our whole team around—‘How can we make this a more seamless transition for our customers’? It wasn’t…easy.”

When Commio’s previous aggregator wasn’t able to meet their needs, they turned to Syniverse, who has played a pivotal role in developing the new messaging standards. Syniverse has strong relationships with carriers and partners, plus investments that let them leverage their assets for the best possible delivery of messaging across the globe. 

“Syniverse was able to quickly get things moving within a week, which is unheard of in this space. We were blown away by how fast and nimble Syniverse was,” says Scott Navratil, Commio VP, Customer Retention and Growth. Commio’s approval ratings and lower spam rates are a testament to this partnership, with campaign approval rates jumping by 20% and a completion rate of nearly 80%.

As Syniverse states in the case study, “In an environment that’s heavily regulated, Commio’s unmatched customer support and a dedicated vetting team at Syniverse, allow them to provide quick 10DLC campaign approvals that make them an industry leader in this space. Together, Commio and Syniverse are dedicated to clearing the constantly shifting 10DLC hurdles to keep customers’ critical messages flowing.”
