Frequently Asked Questions

1How quickly can I get an account?
Contact your Alliance Forge Representative and we can have your account built in minutes.

Photos can be in JPG, JPEG, GIF or PNG. Recommended size is 500px width and 700px height. They must be smaller than 5MB.


Videos must be less than one minute long and sent to an Alliance Forge Representative to be compressed.

3Does the universe file have to be a specific type?
The Universe data file must be in CSV format. If there are any special characters such as accent marks, hyphens, umlaut, etc. in the file, please make sure the file is saved in CSV UTF 8.
4What information do I need to have in the universe?
The only item in the universe that is needed for a send is the phone number. The phone number and area code must be combined under the same header.

A segment is 160 characters that includes spaces and carriage returns.
6How many segments can I have in one message?
In your pricing structure, you are given one segment automatically. Extra segments of 160 characters are priced at $.0075 per extra segment. You can send as many as you would like, but the recommended amount is no more than three.
7What is the difference between SMS and MMS?
SMS is a plain text message. MMS is a text message that includes a graphic or video.
8What is 10 DLC Registration and how does it help?
10DLC stands for 10-digit long code, and it's a type of phone number businesses use to send text messages to customers. It is required that any campaign or business sending text messages must be registered.


10DLCs help businesses:
- Improve delivery rates
- 10DLCs are pre-approved by mobile network operators, which can reduce the number of undelivered messages and the chance of being flagged as spam.
- Protect their reputation
- Businesses can avoid costly non-compliance penalties by adhering to carrier and regulatory guidelines.
- Enhance brand affinity
- Using a compliant messaging channel can improve a business's reputation among consumers.
