A2P walkthrough.

Everything you need to get from "I run a business" to "I'm A2P-registered and can send application-to-person messages."

What is A2P?

A2P (Application-to-Person) messaging is the registered channel businesses use to send SMS to customers at scale — for notifications, OTPs, marketing, and two-way conversations. Unlike person-to-person (P2P) SMS, A2P requires your business to be registered with your telco or aggregator so they can verify your identity, your business, and your messaging use case.

Telcos and aggregators require A2P registration to reduce spam, protect consumers, and give them a paper trail if a sender misuses the channel.

What you'll need

  • ✓ A registered business (DTI / SEC / barangay clearance, depending on your business type)
  • ✓ A business landing page with your business name, address, phone, and services (we generate this for you)
  • ✓ A use case for A2P messaging (transactional, marketing, OTP, alerts, etc.)
  • ✓ Sample message templates (5–10 messages you plan to send)
  • ✓ An account with a telco or aggregator (Globe, Smart, or a third-party SMS provider)

How to use A2P Pro for registration

  1. Generate your site. Fill the form on the homepage with your business basics. We'll create a hosted A2P-compliant landing page.
  2. Open the Results page. It has your live URL plus a copy-paste-ready A2P packet with business name, contact info, services, and address.
  3. Open your telco/aggregator's A2P application form. When asked for your business landing page URL, paste the URL from your Results page.
  4. When asked for business details (name, address, phone, email), copy from the A2P packet.
  5. When asked for service descriptions, copy from the Services section of the packet.
  6. Submit and wait. Typical review is 3–7 business days. Your telco will email you when approved.

After A2P approval

Once you're approved, your .icreativeitsolutions.com URL continues to host your business landing page. You can:

  • ✓ Keep it as your free hosted landing page forever (no action needed).
  • ✓ Upgrade to Pro to edit content, regenerate with AI, or run up to 5 sites from one dashboard.
  • ✓ Upgrade to Business to connect your own custom domain (e.g. yourbusiness.com) via CNAME — your existing URL stays live while you transition.

FAQ

Is this site template A2P-compliant?

Yes. Each generated site includes the contact info, schema.org JSON-LD business markup, services list, and privacy/terms pages that A2P applications typically ask for. The Results page makes it easy to copy exactly what you need.

What if my business has multiple locations?

Generate one site per business name. Each gets its own URL. On Pro/Business plans, manage them all from one dashboard.

Can I use a custom domain instead of .icreativeitsolutions.com?

Yes — upgrade to Business. Add a CNAME record at your registrar, and we'll handle the SSL certificate and routing.

What if my A2P application is rejected?

Common reasons: missing use-case description, no privacy policy, business not yet registered. Your generated site has all three. If rejected, contact us and we'll help diagnose.

How long does A2P approval take?

3–7 business days for most telcos. Aggregators (e.g. Globe's myBusiness, Twilio, Plivo) can take up to 2 weeks.
