Why RingCentral SMS Stopped Working
RingCentral isn't trying to punish you. They are enforcing TCR (The Campaign Registry) rules mandated by AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. If your business identity ("Brand") or use case ("Campaign") hasn't been verified, carriers block the traffic to prevent spam.
Common Rejection Triggers
No Website
RingCentral requires a verified website URL to prove you are a legitimate business.
Bad Privacy Policy
Missing the specific "No Sharing" clause required by carriers.
Opt-In Issues
Forms with pre-checked boxes or vague language like "receive updates."
Option 1: Fix Your RingCentral Account
If you want to stay with RingCentral, you must fix the compliance data. Moving to another provider (like Twilio or Zoom) won't help because the rejection is tied to your EIN, not the provider.

Deploy Compliance Microsite
If you lack a compliant website, launch a MyTCRPlus microsite. It includes the required privacy policy and opt-in forms automatically.

Update RingCentral Profile
Go to Admin Portal > 10DLC Registration. Update your Brand URL to your new microsite and ensure your Legal Name matches your tax ID exactly.

3
Resubmit Campaign
Submit your campaign for re-vetting. With compliant data, approval typically happens in 3-5 days.
Option 2: Switch Providers
If RingCentral's interface or support isn't working for you, you can move your number. However, you will still need to solve the TCR compliance issue at the new provider.
| Provider Type | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| API (Twilio/Bandwidth) | Cheaper, flexible | Requires developer |
| VoIP (Zoom/Vonage) | Similar features to RC | Same strict vetting |
| SMS Marketing Platform | Better marketing tools | Can't handle voice calls |
Porting Your Number
You own your number. You can port it out of RingCentral to any other FCC-regulated carrier. The process takes 3-10 days. Ensure you do not cancel your RingCentral account until the port is complete.
