If your Toll-Free verification request fails for eligible reasons, you can correct and resubmit your request. For a full list of eligible rejection reasons see below.

If eligible, you can resubmit your Toll Free verification after correcting the identified content violation either via the Console or API.

Notice: As of April 16, 2024, new rejection error codes have been introduced to help aid you in navigating your Toll-Free Rejections with more granularity.

As of July 11, 2023, users are able to submit Toll-Free Verification requests via the Messaging Compliance API or in Console, which supports editing your Toll-Free verification request and resubmitting to Twilio. For more information on the Toll-Free Verification process please see Toll-Free Verification in the US and Canada.

Your verification submission has been resolved, but it was rejected. If your verification is eligible for resubmission, you can edit your submission and resubmit it to Twilio for review. It's best to edit and resubmit within 7 days. When no edit is received within 7 days, the submissions will expire. An expired submission will be reviewed, but is no longer prioritized, so time to process is similar to a new submission. Continue on to find the category your rejection falls under and take the necessary action.

Rejection types eligible for resubmission

Each of the below rejection codes are eligible for resubmission. To resolve these issues, please take the corrective action(s) outlined in the linked error code(s) from table below, and then re-submit your Toll-Free Verification request with the updated information.

Rejection types ineligible for resubmission

Each of the below rejection errors are due to forbidden messaging categories, and are therefore ineligible for resubmission. Please note that in addition to Toll-Free Messaging content restrictions, any use cases that violate Twilio's Acceptable Use Policy or Messaging Policy are also not allowed on Twilio's platform, regardless of number/sender type or destination country.

Notice: Users who disagree with their rejection can Contact Support to request an appeal. In your request, please include the original ticket number (if applicable), the details of your appeal, and the subject line "Toll-Free Verification Rejection Appeal for (your business name or number)".

Also, we now provide a "Delete" option in the Twilio Console and API for situations where you may have experienced a rejection in one of the categories below, but fully understand the reason for rejection and simply need to submit a new request. In such instances, you'd need to delete the rejected verification record on your Twilio account before you'll see the option to submit a new one. You can find more details on when or when not to use the delete option here.

What happens to my verification if my Toll-Free number is rejected?

If your Toll-Free number is rejected for one of the reasons listed in the Rejection types eligible for resubmission table above, you will have up to 7 days to provide an amended submission with the information / changes requested, which allows you to keep your spot in line. After 7 days, if your Toll-Free number submission is not amended it will expire and you will lose your spot in line. You can still edit and resubmit an expired submission, but will no longer be prioritized, so the time to process is similar to a new submission..

If your Toll-Free number is rejected and is listed in the Rejection types ineligible for resubmission table above, your Toll-Free number will not be able to send messages and your traffic will be blocked with a 30032 error.

My verification request was rejected, and is ineligible for resubmission - What can I do?

If your Toll-Free Verification request was rejected and is ineligible, you may be able to use another Twilio product to reach your recipients.

The Twilio Sendgrid Email API is an option for many of the above use cases. For example, cannabis- or CBD-related messaging may be conducted via email, as long as you have proper age gating in place and are sending toward recipients in a locale where the substance is legal. In addition, the Twilio Programmable Voice product is not subject to the same carrier restrictions as SMS.

For more information about cannabis-related messaging alternatives, see Can I send cannabis or CBD-related messaging traffic on Twilio.
