Alarmist is warranted. I am equally perplexed by the inconsistent rules, the vague language, and by everyone insisting that T-Mobile will unilaterally issue $10k fines per message. On what authority? What is the appeals process? Dozens of questions, nearly no answers. I just sent a text from one of my business numbers in response to a client who texted it. Is this a campaign? The whole thing where everything that's not another cell phone is considered automated and not P2P seems disgusting, if not actually illegal and fraudulent.

Nate,
See a thread I started a few months ago about this matter. I got a lot of negative responses for being an alarmist.
Basically these requirements are set by the different mobile carriers and they are not the same.
Yes, they all consider customers to be businesses (A2P). No customer is a consumer (P2P) in the eyes of these carriers, TCR and even the person who answered you before.
I don't think that the penalty is $10,000 but VI may be trying to deter you from using SMS without registering. You may want to consider using a different carrier for SMS. Other carriers will also offer to help you register with TCR.
Good luck with dealing with that headache, feel free to contact me off list to see if we can share some information on dealing with this.
Regards, Oren

Sorry if this was already discussed and I missed it. I saw a notice on our Voip Innovations account today that any business DID's that send SMS messages to a consumer in any way now have to be registered with 'Campaignregistry.com' Looks like this requires a $200 signup, and then potentially $10/month/DID. Anyone already gone through this? Talking to VI, it seems they're not even sure, but it's a VI requirement to be registered by Dec 15.
The whole process seems confusing. VI Makes it seem like non-compliance will be expensive. $10,000/violation keeps being referenced.
Would each one of my customers be considered a separate campaign at $10/month? _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps at voiceops.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops
