If you’re sending text messages through Agent CRM, you’ve likely encountered A2P (Application-to-Person) messaging regulations. The rules surrounding text message compliance are constantly evolving, and enforcement is ramping up—meaning more registration rejections, more hoops to jump through, and more headaches for businesses trying to stay compliant.

But here’s the good news: Agent CRM has your back.

We’re continuously updating our resources to make sure your text messaging campaigns stay approved and running smoothly. Instead of navigating confusing compliance rules alone, you can use our pre-approved assets and expert guidance to avoid A2P roadblocks.

✅ What’s Changing with A2P?

A2P messaging has always been heavily regulated, but carriers are now cracking down harder than ever before. What does this mean for you?

📌 More Enforcements – More applications are being rejected, and stricter guidelines are in place.
📌 More Rules to Follow – Carriers require additional proof of legitimacy, stricter opt-in processes, and more message transparency.
📌 More Inconsistencies – The rules change frequently, requiring businesses to constantly adjust.

As Will Winter, Operations Manager at Agent CRM, puts it:

“A2P is like the IRS of texting. They have the power to shut you down unless you follow their rules.”

🚨 A2P’s Most Frustrating New Rule: No More Required Phone Numbers

One of the strangest new requirements?

You can’t require a phone number on lead capture forms.

📌 That’s right—if someone opts in to your business online, you cannot make it a mandatory field.

This change is frustrating because phone numbers are essential for follow-ups, quotes, and communication. But ignoring this rule means your campaigns can get shut down before they even start.
