Diagnosing the Rejection
A "Registration Failed" status in RingCentral is frustratingly vague. It usually points to a data mismatch or a policy violation. The first step is to identify where the failure occurred: Brand Registration (Identity) or Campaign Registration (Use Case).
Identify the Failure Point
Brand Failure
Happens fast (minutes). Means your Business Name, EIN, or Address didn't match official databases.
Campaign Failure
Happens after 3-5 days. Means your website, privacy policy, or sample messages failed manual review.
Top 3 Reasons for Rejection
The "Exact Match" Error (EIN)
TCR validates your EIN and Company Name directly against IRS records. Even a small difference (e.g., omitting "Inc." or using a DBA instead of legal name) causes immediate rejection.
Non-Compliant Website
RingCentral requires a functional business website with a compliant Privacy Policy. Social media profiles or "coming soon" pages result in rejection. The policy must explicitly state you don't share SMS data.
Vague Opt-In Language
Your opt-in form must explicitly mention "SMS" and include key disclosures. Generic "Sign up for updates" checkboxes without legal text are rejected.
