Stay tuned as we outline the necessary steps to keep your business ventures running smoothly.
Ensuring the longevity of your established sole proprietor brands requires a simple yet crucial step: verifying your identity and updating your information. By adding a mobile phone number linked to your business location along with your brand name, you secure your legacy for years to come. Don’t delay – make these updates by July 5, 2023, and safeguard the essence of your entrepreneurial journey.
Verification Process:
After including your mobile phone number in your Brand profile, you’ll promptly get a One-Time Password (OTP) verification code via SMS. Within the next day, simply respond with ‘YES’ to validate your registration and elevate your Brand to Verified status. It’s imperative to finalize this procedure prior to July 5, 2023, to avoid further filtering measures. From August 31, 2023 onwards, any Sole Proprietor Brands not verified and their related Campaigns will be purged, and communication channels linked to those brands will be restricted.
Extended Deadline:
Beforehand, the deadline for Brand OTP verification was set for June 1, 2023. However, we’re now extending this deadline to July 5, 2023. This extension offers you additional time to finalize OTP verification for your Sole Proprietor Brands established prior to October 4, 2022.
Reason for Verification:
The U.S. telecommunications industry requires mobile number verification for Sole Proprietors to combat brand registration abuse.
By July 5, 2023, complete the OTP verification process for your existing Sole Proprietor Brands.
Failure to complete the OTP verification by July 5, 2023, will result in increased filtering of message traffic sent under unverified brands. After August 31, 2023, unverified existing Sole Proprietor Brands, along with their associated Campaigns, will be unregistered and removed.
In such cases, you’ll need to restart the registration process for these Brands and Campaigns, incurring associated costs. The following fees apply for Sole Proprietor brands:
