Does the SMS facility come automatically with a US virtual number (DID)?

When purchasing a US virtual number (also known as a DID), many businesses assume SMS functionality is included by default. However, due to strict US telecom regulations, SMS is not automatically enabled with US-based virtual numbers.

To send application-to-person (A2P) SMS messages legally and reliably in the United States, businesses must complete 10DLC registration. This process ensures compliance with carrier guidelines, protects end users from spam, and significantly improves SMS deliverability. FreJun helps you activate SMS the right way — securely and compliantly.

No, SMS functionality is not automatically enabled with the purchase of a US-based virtual number (Direct Inward Dialing or DID).

According to U.S. telecom regulations, numbers must be registered under a 10DLC campaign to legally send A2P SMS. This ensures compliance with anti-spam policies and guarantees message deliverability.

Customers must complete 10DLC registration and receive approval before SMS capabilities can be activated on their number.
