Sound familiar?
Business texting shouldn't be this hard
Most businesses lose customers because they can't text properly.
Stuck Using Personal Numbers
Staff give out personal cell numbers because the business line can't text. You lose control, professionalism, and audit trails.
No Centralized Inbox
Customer conversations scattered across personal phones, email, and SMS apps. Your team wastes time context-switching between platforms.
Compliance Nightmare
10DLC registration is confusing. Carriers are blocking unregistered business texts. You risk losing messaging altogether.
No Visibility on Delivery
Did the customer receive the appointment reminder? Who replied? What was said? You're flying blind without delivery confirmations.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is 10DLC and why do I need it?
10DLC (10-Digit Long Code) is a carrier-mandated system for business texting. US and Canadian carriers now require businesses to register their brand and messaging campaigns to prevent spam. Without 10DLC registration, your messages will be blocked or heavily throttled. Flare handles the entire registration process—we verify your business, submit campaigns to carriers, and maintain compliance so your messages aren't blocked for missing registration.
Can I use my existing phone number?
Yes, you can port your existing local or toll-free number to Flare. Porting typically takes days to a few weeks, depending on your current carrier and number type. We coordinate with your current carrier and ensure zero downtime. You can also order new numbers instantly if you want to keep your existing number active.
What are message throughput limits?
Up to 2, 4 or 8 messages per second on Core, Pro and Ultra, and 20+ on Enterprise · carrier limits by number type. Measured on single-segment messages (up to 160 characters, or 70 with special characters or emoji). A longer message is split into segments and each segment counts, so a 2-segment message sends at half the rate. Your number type can lower it, see Sending speeds at sipstack.com/pricing/sending-speeds. Toll-free numbers send up to 3 messages per second, SIPSTACK paces each Canadian local number at up to 9 message segments per second, and US 10DLC speed depends on your brand’s carrier trust score (we help you register and get vetted).
How do opt-outs work?
Flare automatically handles opt-out keywords (STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE) as required by TCPA and Canadian anti-spam law (CASL). When a contact opts out, they're immediately added to the suppression list and won't receive future campaigns. You can manage opt-ins/opt-outs via the portal or API. All campaigns include automatic opt-out language.
What does Flare cost?
Self-serve tiers in USD: Core ($49/mo · 2,500 SMS · $0.023 overage), Pro ($199/mo · 15,000 SMS · $0.015 overage), Ultra ($599/mo · 50,000 SMS · $0.014 overage). MMS counts as 4 SMS toward your allowance. 10DLC registration is included on every plan. Pro includes a 14-day free trial. Enterprise (negotiated caps beyond Ultra) is also available — see the pricing page for full details.
How does Flare support TCPA and CASL compliance?
Yes, Flare is designed for compliance with both TCPA (US) and CASL (Canada). We enforce consent requirements, automatic opt-out handling, and proper sender identification. All campaigns include required disclosures. Detailed message logs provide audit trails. We recommend getting legal review for promotional campaigns, but our platform provides the technical compliance infrastructure.
Can I use Flare for marketing campaigns?
Yes, Flare supports marketing campaigns with proper consent. You must have explicit opt-in from contacts (TCPA/CASL requirement). Our campaign builder includes A/B testing, scheduling, segmentation, and link tracking. We enforce sending limits and best practices to maintain high deliverability. Promotional campaigns require higher 10DLC trust scores—we'll guide you through the process.
Where is my data stored?
Recordings and voicemail are stored in your billing country: Canada if you are billed in CAD, the US if you are billed in USD. This happens automatically, with no configuration on your end. Other cross-border data flows are listed in our privacy policy (/legal/privacy/).
