Introduction

Our messaging provider, Twilio, enforces strict guidelines for SMS content. Toll-Free Verification is required for sending messages over Toll-Free phone numbers. The Toll-Free Verification process requires providing detailed information which helps ensure phone numbers are tied to valid businesses and helps prevent fraud.

Important: Users who do not complete verification are blocked from sending any messages over Toll-Free numbers as of January 31, 2024. We recommend all users submit their registration as soon as possible to avoid delays in processing, and verification.

 

Verification Statuses

Status Description Helpful Hint
Restricted

This means your number has been submitted and is in pending review from Twilio.

During this stage, you can still go in and update the form if needed.
Pending Verification This means your number is actively being reviewed by Twilio.

During this time, you cannot make any updates to the form.

Rejected 

Twilio has rejected the submission, and more information is needed.

Depending on the error code, if you do not update and resubmit within 7 days, the submission will expire. It's best to edit and resubmit within this time frame. After 7 days, the toll-free number stays restricted until the resubmission is received. An expired submission will be reviewed but will take as long as a new one.
Verified Twilio has verified and approved your phone number. You can now send SMS messages through Gingr.
