Twilio Messaging DocumentationMessaging

Description

description page anchor

Your verification request was rejected because the business contact on the submission doesn't appear to be a real person authorized to represent the business. Messaging traffic on the phone number is blocked until the number is verified.

Possible causes

possible-causes page anchor
  • businessContactFirstName and businessContactLastName don't identify a real person for the business or organization using the phone number.
  • You entered a generic role or title, such as Admin or Support, instead of an authorized business representative.
  • You submitted an incomplete contact name, such as a partial name or a missing first or last name.
  • Update businessContactFirstName and businessContactLastName with the full first and last name of a real person who is authorized to represent the business using the phone number.
  • Make sure the contact details you submit belong to that business representative, including businessContactEmail and businessContactPhone. Format businessContactPhone in E.164.
  • If the request is eligible for resubmission, correct the contact information and resubmit it from the Regulatory Information tab in Console, or update the verification request through the verification API.
