Register a text sender
On Connections, Text sender (RCS), prepare a sender that shows your name and logo. Nothing is sent from this page.
Open Connections, then Text sender (RCS). The page says: Register your own text sender, so messages show your name and logo. Here you prepare the details, get them approved, and keep track of the answer. Filing is done with your sender provider; nothing is sent from this page.
The steps
- Brand. How your sender looks to the people who get your messages.
- Contact. How people can reach you from the message.
- Company. The company behind the sender, and who can answer for it.
- Use. What you send, how people agree to it, and how they stop it.
- Reach. Where you send, and the proof the carriers ask for.
- Test phones. Phones that can get messages while the review goes on.
- Review. Check the details, get them approved, and file them.
