SMS from a US local number fails with error 30034 until A2P 10DLC registration is approved

30034 US A2P 10DLC - Message from an Unregistered Number

Verified 2026-10-15 · Confirmed by 0 builders · Trust 50/100

Cause

Since 2023-09-01 Twilio blocks all US bound SMS and MMS from +1 10DLC numbers that are not in the sender pool of a Messaging Service tied to an approved A2P Campaign.

Fix

Finish Brand and Campaign registration, add the number to the Messaging Service linked to the Campaign, and send through that service. Use a toll-free number, short code or Verify while registration is pending.

Apply

await client.messages.create({ messagingServiceSid: process.env.TWILIO_MESSAGING_SERVICE_SID, to: '+15551234567', body: 'Your order shipped' });

Affects: US bound messages from +1 10DLC numbers, fully blocked since 2023-09-01
