If there’s one thing that frustrates HighLevel users more than a broken automation, it’s SMS compliance headaches.
Between A2P 10DLC regulations, rising costs, and country-specific restrictions (looking at you, Australia), sending simple, transactional text messages has become way more complicated than it should be.
But guess what? There’s a game-changing solution on the way.
In a recent Live Session, Mario Aldayuz gave us an inside look at an SMS app—and let’s just say, it could be a huge win for agencies looking to sidestep compliance headaches.
Let’s break it down.
A2P Who? The SMS App That Plays By Its Own Rules
So, here’s the deal:
This new SMS app is designed to bypass traditional A2P restrictions by using a plug-in modem.
Yep, you read that right. No carrier approval processes. No ridiculous compliance fees. Just a simple, cost-effective way to send transactional SMS messages—especially for agencies in regions where A2P is a nightmare.
🔹 Who is this for? Agencies or businesses that need a reliable way to send transactional texts without dealing with the headaches of A2P registration.
🔹 How does it work? The modem stays plugged in, acting as the sending source for your SMS campaigns.
🔹 What’s the catch? It’s not meant for high-volume marketing campaigns—this is more of a practical workaround for transactional messaging.
Why This Matters for Agencies
If you’re in the U.S., A2P compliance is annoying but manageable.
But in places like Australia, the barriers to entry are insane—so agencies there have been left scrambling for solutions.
This SMS app isn’t a full-on replacement for A2P compliance (you’re still going to need registered numbers for marketing), but it does give you more flexibility.
Think of it as one more tool in your arsenal—especially if you’re running transactional messages like:
✅ Appointment reminders
✅ Order confirmations
✅ Internal notifications
For small- to medium-sized agencies, this could be a game-changer in terms of keeping costs down while still maintaining solid SMS communication.
Final Thoughts: Should You Jump On This?
If you’re constantly battling A2P compliance issues (or you just want a simpler option for transactional SMS), this new app is definitely worth exploring.
Before diving in, think about your specific use case.
If you’re running high-volume marketing campaigns, A2P is still your best bet. But for smaller-scale, transactional messaging, this could be the perfect workaround.
