Kory Wood: Carriers to End Unregistered Texts

I wanted to inform you of an important update regarding our text messaging services. Starting December 1st, 2024, U.S. carriers will no longer allow unregistered text messages to be delivered. This means that any accounts relying on unregistered routes for texting will be unable to send messages until they are properly 10DLC registered.

To ensure your messages are delivered, and your campaigns go off without a hitch, I strongly urge our unregistered clients to begin the 10DLC registration process as soon as possible. The registration is essential for compliance and will enable us to continue sending messages without disruption.

Our team is here to help! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions on the 10DLC registration process or an upcoming project that needs set-up.

We hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving.


Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Ascent

Happy Thanksgiving from the Ascent family to yours.

We are giving our team time off starting on the 25th and returning to the office on the 2nd of December. Don’t worry; we will still be around to execute any pressing needs for our clients but bear with us while our team rests and recharges with their families.


Ascent Gives Q4: The Parkinson’s Foundation

A new quarter means a new initiative for our Ascent Gives program. We have been proud to support worthy causes submitted by our team throughout this year. This quarter is no exception as we announce our support for the Parkinson’s Foundation.

Submitted by Whit McKenzie of our Operations Department, we pledge $1,000 to the cause and encourage you to join us.

Whit shared his reason for his submission; he watched the toll the disease took on his wife’s family. He saw the strain it caused and the fear it still causes, knowing that genetic or environmental components can contribute to anyone having to suffer through this disease. Currently, without a cure, the Parkinson’s Foundation works to improve care and advance research towards a cure.


Join us in celebrating our Ascent team members’ upcoming birthdays and work anniversaries. We are grateful to have them on our team!
