There are several ways to register and use 10DLC with Sinch. It really depends on what type of customer you are and how you plan to work with Sinch as a provider of 10DLC services. In other articles we have told you about how to create a 10DLC brand and register a 10DLC campaign within our customer dashboard. This article will help you understand which steps to use and why.

There are 3 ways Sinch can help you launch a 10DLC messaging campaign:

1. Sinch is the CSP (Campaign Service Provider). We handle registration in TCR. You can get a number from Sinch or port or host your number with Sinch.
2. You are the CSP and get a number from Sinch or port or host your number with Sinch.
3. You are the CSP and import your own numbers.
