Why?
Due to new regulations by the Major Cell Phone Carriers, businesses are now required to register their SMS/MMS phone numbers.
How?
The process is simple and is done in three parts.
Step 1 Brand Registration - For this you will need your Tax ID
Step 2Campaign Creation
Step 3 Adding SMS numbers to a Campaign
Step 1:
This is done at the Campaign Registry Page which is accessed in two ways
https://campaignregistry.myvotacall.com/
or from the apps drop down for office managers in the MyVotacall Portal by clicking SMS Campaign Mgmt from the apps drop down.
Once logged in for the first time you will click the Let's Get Started Icon
And fill in the boxes including the Tax ID
Then Click the Agree to terms and conditions box and click create brand
Step 2:
The next step once the brand is approved is to create a campaign- You will typically have one campaign assigned for up to 49 numbers. Any more would need an additional campaign. In the photo below you can see Votacall's 4 campaigns- to add another you will click the plus symbol- If no campaigns were created then you would see some red print to create a campaign next to the blue + symbol
Click the plus and choose campaign type. The cost you see are monthly cost to you. Most of our current clients are low volume and therefor use the Low volume mixed choice. You can use this type and select at least one and up to 5 uses.
Then click next.- This screen shows the limits for SMS with each carrier. So AT&T will allow 75 TPM while T-mobile caps at 2k a day
Click next
From here you need to fill in the following
Vertical- Choose from Drop Down
Campaign Description- give it a name (ie Client Contact)
Add at least one sample message
Choose campaign attributes. You will notice the first 3 cannot be no(it is grayed out)
Below is a screen shot of what most if our clients do.
Once complete click Create campaign
You will need to wait about an hour for the campaign to be approved and then you can assign a number to it.
Step 3:
Do this by clicking on the campaign in blue
Scroll down and assign or un-assign numbers as needed.
You are finished.
