10DLC campaign use cases determine the nature of the messages you will send to your subscribers. This campaign use case will have an impact on the information that needs to be provided for the campaign, and may induce different rules regarding the opt-in mechanisms allowed. Some use cases require you to elect sub-use cases.
Note that the campaign use case will also determine the subscription cost to run the campaign, and will be used alongside your brand vetting score to define the maximum throughputs allowed by the carriers. This guide will outline the process to register a 10DLC campaign.
Standard campaigns
Those campaigns will allow most customers to run their messaging programs. Most standard campaigns represent a $10 (€10) monthly subscription fee. They do not require additional review from the carriers pre- or post-registration.
