Amazon Pinpoint 10DLC Campaign Types and Quotas for SMS
The following 10DLC Campaigns, or, Use Cases outlined in Table 2 are currently supported by Amazon Pinpoint. As part of the process to register for sending SMS to US based phone numbers you must select at least one Campaign that will be associated with the 10DLC number you procure. If you require more than one Use Case then you will need more than one 10DLC, or you can select the standard mixed use case which supports lower volumes of messages. Throughput is determined based on the company vetting score of the registered sender of the message and what is being sent, not on the amount of numbers associated with the Campaign. For a breakdown of vetting scores and quotas see below:
Throughput and Volume Quotas for 10DLC Vetted Companies
*Note that by default each number associated to a 10DLC campaign supports 1 MPS. In order to increase your numbers to match what your campaign qualifies for by carriers you will be required to submit a MPS increase request.
