List of Restrictions for Sending Long Code SMS

For Level 2 verified customers, higher limits are available for various number types, as detailed below.

US long code numbers are limited to sending 2 messages per minute per long code for unregistered traffic. If faster throughput is needed for A2P messages, registration for 10DLC messaging is required.
