Business texting now requires registration. It protects your number and makes sure your texts actually arrive.

What it is
Carriers require businesses to register before sending texts to clients. It's often called A2P registration.
What you need
Your legal business name, EIN or sole proprietor details, and a business address that all match.
Why it matters
Unregistered numbers get filtered or blocked, so clients never see your messages.
Always get permission
Only text clients who opted in, and always let them reply STOP.

Crown Care Club members: we handle registration for you.Talk to us about setup

You hold others up. This page is our small way of holding you up too.
