When it comes to choosing a messaging provider, it's crucial to test deliverability before committing to registration through The Campaign Registry (TCR). SignalWire understands this concern and offers an excellent solution, Platform Free Trial (PFT). With PFT, you can thoroughly test your campaigns before committing, while also benefiting from SignalWire's streamlined 10DLC registration process.
PFT allows you to test SignalWire's messaging services before commiting to registering through TCR, which can involve several fees. Please note that TCR is specifically for 10DLC messaging. If you're wondering if 10DLC is right for your A2P messaging campaigns, check out our guide to choosing the right number type for your campaign.
In this post, we'll walk you through the simplicity of enabling the Platform Free Trial, explore its capabilities, and highlight how it can empower you to make informed choices for your messaging campaigns.
Enabling the Platform Free Trial
The process of enabling the Platform Free Trial is designed to be hassle-free. To begin, simply purchase a SignalWire phone number, which will serve as your gateway to exploring the full potential of SignalWire's messaging APIs. Next, verify your mobile number to proceed with the trial. Once these steps are completed, you gain access to the trial period and can start sending test messages.
During the Platform Free Trial, you can send up to 200 messages per day, providing ample opportunities to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of your campaigns. To ensure clear distinction, each message sent will be easily identifiable with the tag [SignalWire Free Trial].
It's important to note that the trial is restricted to sending messages exclusively from the assigned SignalWire phone number to the assigned verified phone number. This limitation ensures that you can thoroughly test the messaging process without other messaging traffic interfering.
To maintain the trial, it is essential not to release or remove the PFT-enabled SignalWire phone number or the verified caller ID number. You can view the entire set up process here.

Once you've successfully tested your campaigns and are satisfied with the results, SignalWire seamlessly guides you through the process of registering your campaign with TCR.
