What website does Commio need for 10DLC campaign approval?

Quick answer

Commio needs a live, secure website that matches your brand name, with a privacy policy and terms that are easy to find from the home page. You paste their direct URLs into the campaign's Privacy Policy Link and Terms and Conditions Link fields. Commio says the review team reads your privacy policy in full.

This page is for businesses and software platforms that send US texts on Commio numbers (Commio was formerly thinQ). You register a brand and a campaign, then assign numbers to the approved campaign. Reviewers use your website to confirm the business is real and that people agreed to get texts.

10DLC Site is not affiliated with or endorsed by Commio. Provider names are used only to describe where information goes. This page describes the flow as documented at the time of writing (Updated September 2026). Screens change, so follow what you see in your account.

Which registration does Commio use, and who submits it?

Commio uses A2P 10DLC through The Campaign Registry (TCR), and you submit the brand and campaign yourself in the Commio portal. Commio's guide says to log in, open Messaging, then the Campaign Registry page. Commio sends what you submit to TCR for vetting. You can also register brands directly with TCR. After approval, you get an email and can assign numbers to the campaign.

Where do the website URLs go in Commio's registration?

URL Where it goes in Commio
Business website (homepage) Brand registration. Commio's guide lists website for public companies and government entities. Its checklist says every brand needs a live website that DCAs will check.
Privacy policy Campaign form, Privacy Policy Link field. Use the direct link to the page.
Terms and conditions (with SMS terms) Campaign form, Terms and conditions Link field. If you have no separate terms page, Commio says the disclosures can go in the call-to-action.
Opt-in page or opt-in evidence Call-to-Action / Message Flow. Link every page with an opt-in. Upload screenshots or forms under Supporting Documentation.

Commio calls Call-to-Action / Message Flow one of the most heavily scrutinized sections. It should cover your brand or program name, message frequency, that message and data rates may apply, and HELP and STOP instructions. For verbal opt-in, include the script the agent reads.

What does Commio check on your website?

Commio's help center and checklist describe what reviewers look for:

  • A live, secure site that matches the brand. The checklist asks for a valid SSL certificate and a site that matches the brand name.
  • Easy-to-find policies. Privacy policy and terms must be on the site, clearly labeled, and reachable from the home page. This applies even if you do not collect opt-ins on the site.
  • A privacy policy with no sharing of numbers. The team reads it in full. It must say personal information, including phone numbers, is not shared or sold.
  • Terms with SMS program details. Program name, message types, frequency, rates notice, customer care contact, and opt-out steps.
  • A text-only opt-in. Consent wording at the bottom of the form, covering frequency, rates, and brand name. Email and call consent must be separate.
  • An optional phone field. A mandatory phone number field counts as forced opt-in.

Why was my Commio 10DLC campaign rejected?

The Commio docs reviewed here do not publish a numbered code list. They do name these causes:

Cause named by Commio Fix page
Use case does not match opt-in wording (for example, the opt-in mentions promotions but Marketing was not selected) Sample messages mismatch
Call-to-action missing brand, frequency, rates, HELP, or STOP Opt-in not verifiable
Privacy policy allows sharing personal info or phone numbers Privacy policy missing SMS language
Opt-in hidden behind a multi-page form or login with no screenshot Opt-in not verifiable
Opt-in bundled with email or calls, or a required phone field Opt-in form
Public URL shorteners in messages Sample messages mismatch
Website does not match the brand, or brand is the agency, not the business Website does not match brand

How long does review take, and what does it cost to resubmit?

Commio says DCA campaign review can take up to 10 business days on average. Brand checks are automated, so its checklist says to expect brand status updates within minutes.

On cost, Commio's SMS Campaign Guide (updated May 2025) lists:

Item Fee in Commio's guide
Brand registration $4
Resubmit an unverified brand $4
Vetting through the portal (Aegis) $40
Most campaign use cases, such as Marketing or Customer Care $10
Low Volume Mixed $2
Charity $5

Commio's 2024 checklist adds a $15 DCA review fee and says fees are charged per attempt, not per approval. Its campaign amounts differ from the newer guide, so check Commio's current pricing before you resubmit.

Commio gotchas to know

  1. One EIN, one brand. Commio's checklist says an EIN cannot be used to register multiple brands.
  2. Register the brand, not the agency. If messages name "Solar City," register Solar City, not the agency sending for it.
  3. Authentication+ for public companies. The contact email must share the brand's website domain. Commio says it cannot be a group address like sales@ or a free email address.
  4. Link every opt-in page. If opt-in appears in several places, each needs the wording and a link in the call-to-action.

How do I get a website that passes Commio review?

  1. The site is live, secure, and matches your brand. See SSL and HTTPS and brand name match.
  2. It shows your services and contact details. See business contact info.
  3. Privacy policy and terms are linked from the home page. See privacy policy and SMS terms.
  4. The opt-in is text-only, with an optional phone field and full disclosure. See opt-in form.
  5. It is not parked or "coming soon." See no parked sites.

10DLC Site builds these pages and gives you the exact URLs to paste into Commio. You still submit the registration yourself, and carriers make the final decision. For other providers, see the any-provider guide.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I put my privacy policy in a Commio 10DLC campaign?

In the Privacy Policy Link field of the campaign form. Commio asks for the direct link to your privacy policy page and says the review team reads it fully. There is a matching Terms and Conditions Link field for your terms page.

What does Commio need in my privacy policy?

Commio's help center says the policy must clearly state that no personal information, including phone numbers, is shared with outside parties, affiliates, or third parties. Personal information should never be shared or sold. A short line such as mobile information won't be shared is the idea.

How long does Commio 10DLC campaign review take?

Commio's help center says campaign review by the DCA can take up to 10 business days on average after you submit. Commio's registration checklist also warns that approvals can take as long as 10 days. Status shows in the portal and via API.

Can my phone number field be required on the opt-in form?

Commio says no. Its help center says a mandatory phone number field counts as forced opt-in. Make the phone field optional, and put SMS consent wording at the bottom of the form, covering frequency, rates, and your brand name.

Do reviewers click through my multi-page form to find the opt-in?

Probably not. Commio's help center says reviewers likely will not click through a multi-page questionnaire and may reject the campaign. Screenshot the final page with the opt-in wording and upload it as supporting documentation. Do the same for opt-ins behind a login.

What does Commio charge for 10DLC brand registration?

Commio's SMS Campaign Guide, last updated May 2025, lists a $4 brand registration fee, $4 to resubmit an unverified brand, and $40 for vetting through the portal via Aegis. Campaign fees vary by use case. Check Commio's current pricing before you submit.
