Summary

Toll-free messaging has been a popular method for businesses to deliver notifications, alerts, surveys, marketing, and customer support since the early 2000s. To ensure message quality and protect mobile subscribers from fraudulent messages, toll-free verification is required for all messaging-enabled toll-free numbers in the U.S. and Canada. The process involves reviewing the sender and use case of each number. Bandwidth has introduced a Toll-Free Verification API to streamline this manual and time-consuming process, enabling businesses to achieve maximum messaging throughput quickly and easily.
