SignalHouse: Faster 10DLC Approvals
SignalHouse
SignalHouse is a communications platform (CPaaS) that specializes in A2P 10DLC messaging with a focus on fast approvals and high deliverability.
Recommended by Joshua Crouch in the Seven Figure Agency community as a native HighLevel integration for agencies tired of 10DLC approval delays.
The 10DLC Problem
If you've tried registering for 10DLC through HighLevel, you know the pain:
- Multiple review layers (Twilio + two DCAs)
- Rejections for vague reasons
- Weeks of back-and-forth
- Compliance requirements that aren't clearly documented
HighLevel uses Twilio for messaging under the hood, which means your application passes through multiple gatekeepers—each with their own criteria and potential for human error.
How SignalHouse Solves It
SignalHouse is a Tier 2 messaging aggregation platform that streamlines the 10DLC registration process:
Faster approvals — Under 48 hours thanks to direct relationships with DCAs (Direct Connect Aggregators). Compare that to weeks through the standard HighLevel/Twilio path.
Built-in compliance tools — Automatically generates compliant opt-in language, CTAs, privacy policies, and SMS disclaimers. No guessing what carriers want.
Higher deliverability — Industry-leading rates above 95%. Your messages actually reach customers.
Lower costs — SMS starting at $0.0075 per message and numbers at $1/line. Up to 80% less than Twilio.
What You Need for Approval
The 10DLC approval process has two steps:
1. Brand Registration
Verifies your company's legal information:
- Business name and EIN
- Business type
- Address
- Support contact information
This is handled by The Campaign Registry (TCR).
2. Campaign Registration
Describes how you'll use SMS:
- Campaign description (concise)
- Opt-in process (who, what, when, where, how, cost)
- Sample messages for each use case
- Privacy policy stating SMS opt-in data won't be shared/sold
Pro tip: Always register clients under their own brand and EIN. Registering them under yours creates liability issues and risks "drift content" problems down the road.
SignalHouse vs Twilio
| Factor | SignalHouse | Twilio (via HighLevel) |
|---|---|---|
| Approval time | Under 48 hours | Days to weeks |
| SMS cost | $0.0075/msg | ~$0.0079/msg + markup |
| Number cost | $1/line | $1.15/line + fees |
| Compliance tools | Built-in | Manual |
| Support | Direct access | Tiered support |
| Complexity | Streamlined | Multiple review layers |
Switching From LC Phone
Already on LC Phone? You can switch. SignalHouse integrates natively with HighLevel—it's not a separate system you manage outside GHL.
Trade-offs to consider:
- You lose LC Phone rebilling (can't mark up SMS costs to sub-accounts the same way)
- Different billing relationship to manage
- Migration effort for existing numbers
For most agencies frustrated with approval times, the trade-off is worth it.
When to Use SignalHouse
Use SignalHouse when:
- You're stuck in 10DLC approval hell
- You need faster registration for clients
- You want built-in compliance tooling
- You're scaling an agency with multiple sub-accounts
Stick with HighLevel's default when:
- You're already approved and working fine
- You rely heavily on LC Phone rebilling
- You have simple, low-volume SMS needs
Getting Started
