What if I Am Not a Business or I Don’t Have an EIN?

Anyone can use TextSpot for their mass messaging needs.

If you’re not a business or don’t have an Employer Identification Number (EIN), you can still complete the A2P application process. Here’s what you need to know:

  1. We’ll Register You as a Sole Proprietorship

    • When you don’t have an EIN, we’ll submit your application as a sole proprietorship.

    • Please note that registrations for sole proprietorships may take longer to review by The Campaign Registry.

  2. How to Fill Out the A2P Application

    • In the EIN field of the A2P application, enter all 1’s (111-11-1111).

      • This step is necessary for applications without a traditional EIN.

    • In the Web Presence field, if you have a website, please enter your URL.

      • If you don't have a website, no problem. It is not a requirement for Sole proprietorships to have one.

  3. One-Time Text Confirmation

    • As part of the registration process for sole proprietorships, you’ll receive a one-time text confirmation.

    • This message does not get sent automatically as our team has to manually process it. We will email you when we send the text.
