SlickText gives new brands a toll-free number by default and submits the registration to carriers for you. The form asks for a public, password-free website that matches your brand, your legal business name, EIN, address, and links to your SMS Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy. 10DLC numbers are optional and take about a week.
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.
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.
| Number type | At SlickText (at the time of writing) | Registration |
|---|---|---|
| Toll-free | Default, free premium toll-free number | Toll-free verification with carriers |
| 10DLC | $10 per month | Brand and campaign registration with TCR |
| Short code | $500 to $1,000 per month | Short code program |
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.
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:
| SlickText field | What to enter | Our requirement page |
|---|---|---|
| Brand Name | Should match your website's public-facing identity | Brand name match |
| Legal Business Name | Exactly as on government filings, with LLC, Inc., or Corp. | Brand EIN mismatch |
| Type of Business | Your registered legal structure | none |
| EIN / Tax ID | 9-digit EIN (sole proprietors exempt) | EIN |
| Website | Public, password-free, matching branding (or an active social account) | Content pages |
| Business description | What you do and what you will text | Content pages |
| Address and contact | Physical address, contact email that ideally matches your domain | Business contact info |
| SMS Terms & Conditions link | Public URL to your SMS terms | SMS terms |
| Privacy Policy link | Public URL to your privacy policy | Privacy policy |
Here is the flow in plain steps, based on SlickText's help center:
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:
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.
| Cause (from SlickText's docs) | What it looks like | Fix page |
|---|---|---|
| Brand Name does not match the website | Site shows a different name or no clear brand | Website does not match brand |
| Legal name does not match government filings | Missing "LLC," old name, or DBA only | Brand EIN mismatch |
| Website is private or password-protected | Reviewer hits a login | Website not accessible |
| Missing SMS Terms & Conditions link | No terms page | Missing SMS terms |
| Missing Privacy Policy link | No policy, or one without SMS wording | Privacy policy missing SMS language |
| Incomplete use-case documentation | Vague business description | Campaign rejected next steps |
| Sample copy does not match the declared use case | Samples promote something else | Sample messages mismatch |
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.
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.
