Key Takeaway & Executive Summary

10DLC suspensions freeze all US messaging traffic. Follow this audit checklist to fix privacy policy omissions, opt-in disclosures, and appeal suspensions successfully.

Waking up to an A2P 10DLC campaign suspension notice halts user onboarding across your entire US customer base. Carriers suspend campaigns when consumer complaints surge, opt-in disclosures are missing, or unapproved use-cases are detected. This runbook details how to recover quickly.
