[Shahzad_Ismail]

To create a new US 10DLC campaign, follow the steps outlined below:

1. Log in to the Sinch Customer Dashboard and select SMS from the left menu and click the US 10DLC Campaigns option.
   
   
2. The US 10DLC Campaigns page is displayed:
   
   
   
   Click CREATE NEW CAMPAIGN.
   
   

3. The 10DLC Campaign creation Get started page is displayed:
   
   
   
   Note: Before you can register for a 10DLC campaign, you need to have a 10DLC enabled brand. If you do not already have a 10DLC enabled brand, click here to create one in the Supporting Documents section of the Sinch Customer Dashboard. Refer to the Creating a new 10DLC Brand article to learn more.
   
   You can only create a 10DLC campaign for a brand that you have registered in the Sinch dashboard or for an imported brand that Sinch has registered on your behalf in TCR (The Campaign Registry). If you registered your brand directly in TCR, you cannot create a 10DLC campaign in the dashboard – you will need to register your campaign directly in TCR.
   
   Select your project from the project drop-down. To learn more about projects, refer to the article What is a project and where do I find the key and secret?
   
   Click CREATE CAMPAIGN.

   Select the numbers you want to use for your campaign from the list of numbers in your account. If you have many numbers, you can use the search function to locate the numbers you want to associate with your campaign. Or you can click GET NEW NUMBERS to get new number(s) for your campaign, which will open the Get virtual numbers page in a new tab.
   
   
5. Once you’ve finished getting new numbers, return to the Select numbers step and refresh the numbers list to see your new numbers. 
   
   Note: If you choose to create a campaign without specifying any numbers, you can associate your Virtual Numbers with your campaign later in the Numbers Administration section.
   
   Click NEXT.
   
   

6. The Select brand step is displayed:
   
   
   
   Select the brand you want to be represented in the campaign from the 10DLC enabled brands drop-down.
   
   If you do not already have a brand, click CREATE A 10DLC-ENABLED BRAND to create a new brand. Refer to the Creating a new 10DLC Brand article to learn more.
   
   Click NEXT.
