SlickText is a text marketing platform used by retailers, restaurants, and other businesses for campaigns, keywords, and automations. This page is for SlickText users whose number registration was rejected, and for anyone filling out the form for the first time.

10DLC Site is not affiliated with or endorsed by SlickText. 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 SlickText use, and who submits it?

Most SlickText users go through toll-free verification, because SlickText's default sending number is toll-free. SlickText submits the registration to the carriers for you. If you choose a 10DLC number, SlickText submits it to The Campaign Registry on your behalf.

The website checks for toll-free verification are close to those for 10DLC. Reviewers want a live site that matches the business, a privacy policy, SMS terms, and a visible opt-in. See toll-free verification.

Where do the website, privacy policy and terms links go in SlickText?

They all go in one form. You open it by creating a brand, then clicking Register My Number. SlickText's help center lists these fields:

Here is the flow in plain steps, based on SlickText's help center:

1. Create your account or a new brand.
2. Click Register My Number.
3. Fill in the brand, legal, website, and contact fields.
4. Paste your SMS Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy links.
5. Submit and click Finish. SlickText sends it to the carriers.
6. Watch for the approval or rejection notification.

What does SlickText (or the carriers) check on your website?

SlickText's guidance focuses on identity and access. The site must be public, have no password, and show branding that matches the Brand Name you entered. Its contact email guidance says the address should ideally match your brand domain, or include your brand name if you use Gmail.

A reviewer opening your site also looks for:

• Your legal name and brand clearly shown. See brand name match.
• A privacy policy stating you do not share or sell mobile numbers or opt-in data. See privacy policy.
• SMS terms with frequency, rates, and STOP/HELP. See SMS terms.
• A visible opt-in with an unchecked box. See opt-in form.
• https on every page. See SSL and HTTPS.

Why was my SlickText registration rejected?

SlickText sends a notification with the reason and next steps, but it does not publish a public list of codes. The causes below come from SlickText's own guidance, mapped to our fix pages.

SlickText notes that legitimate businesses, nonprofits, and government entities with compliant use cases rarely hit approval issues. Most rejections come down to one of the mismatches above.

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

SlickText says toll-free registration is often done the same day and typically in less than 48 hours. 10DLC registration takes about a week, per the help center. SlickText's August 2026 blog gives 1 to 3 business days for brand registration and 1 to 5 business days for campaign approval, depending on carrier queues.

On cost, SlickText's help center says the default toll-free number is free, and a 10DLC number is $10 per month at the time of writing. It does not publish a separate registration or resubmission fee. Check SlickText's pricing before you switch number types.

What SlickText gotchas should I know about?

• You are probably on toll-free. If you never picked a 10DLC number, your registration was toll-free verification. Advice written for 10DLC campaigns may not match your screens.
• Social pages are a fallback. SlickText allows an active social account if you have no website. That leaves the reviewer less to confirm, and you still need somewhere to host your terms and privacy policy.
• Gmail contact emails need your brand name. SlickText says a Gmail address should include your brand name. A domain email is cleaner.
• Political senders need extra steps. SlickText says political senders must get a Campaign Verify token first.

How do I get a website that passes SlickText review?

1. Match your Brand Name and legal name on the site. See brand name match.
2. Keep the site public with no login. See website not accessible.
3. List your address, phone, and a domain email. See business contact info.
4. Describe your services. See content pages.
5. Publish SMS terms. See SMS terms.
6. Publish a privacy policy with a no-sharing statement. See privacy policy.
7. Add an opt-in form with an unchecked SMS box. See opt-in form.
8. Serve it over https and remove any parked page. See no parked sites.
