Political texting · Utah and beyond
Registered 10DLC political texting at wholesale rates for campaigns, PACs and issue groups. Your own number, your own list, a portal your whole team can use, and the registration done right the first time.
Create an account, get your own page at www.beehivetext.com/users/yourname, and follow the guide there step by step. About two weeks from a complete file to your first message. Ballots for the November election mail around October 13.
Pick an account name and you get your own page. It holds your customer file, the full setup guide, and the status of your program from application to go-live.
Your committee's details, a Twilio account you own, your Campaign Verify token, and a sign-up website we build from your existing site. Then we file the brand and campaign the carriers require and see it through vetting.
Import a voter file or sign-up sheet, build lists by city, zip or party, preview the cost, send. Replies land in your inbox and STOP is handled automatically.
During our launch we're waiving our own fees for the campaigns we take on. You pay only Twilio for your messages, at Twilio's rates, and the $95 Campaign Verify fee the carriers require. We register the program, build your sign-up site, and run the portal.

Every political program needs the one-time $95 Campaign Verify fee, paid by your committee directly to campaignverify.org; the carriers require it. Larger lists and multi-race consultants: ask for a quote.
Drop in a county export or a sign-up sheet. Names, address, city, zip and party come along; numbers are normalized and duplicates skipped.
Saved filters by city, zip, party or a search term. Add contacts later and every matching list already includes them.
Every blast shows recipients, segments and the dollar estimate, with a confirmation step. Cancel and resume mid-send.
Attach an image for a picture message when a mailer-style piece earns its extra cents.
Threaded conversations per voter, one-to-one replies, and forwarding to a staffer's cell so nothing sits unanswered.
STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE and the rest are honored instantly and permanently. Your keyword enrolls people automatically.
Since February 2026 the three national carriers block all unregistered political texting. Registration is not a checkbox: it means a verified committee identity, a brand and campaign on file with The Campaign Registry, compliant privacy and terms pages on your own website, and message content that matches what you registered.
We do this work for every client, and we say no to the shortcuts that get programs suspended: purchased lists, texting outside 8 am to 9 pm, link shorteners, and messages without a way to opt out.
Yes. Campaign Verify only verifies committees with an Employer Identification Number, and the carriers require Campaign Verify for political texting. If your committee has a bank account it has an EIN. If not, the IRS issues one online in about ten minutes.
It is the nonprofit that confirms a political committee is who it says it is, using your public filing with the state or the FEC. The $95 fee is paid by your committee directly, once per election cycle, and the token it issues is what unlocks political texting with the carriers. A token is issued per texting vendor, so a token you got for a different platform cannot be reused here.
Twilio is the carrier-connected platform that actually delivers the messages. Until our reseller registration completes, each campaign holds its own Twilio account: you pay Twilio at its own rates with no markup, you own the number, and we do all the setup and registration inside the account with access you can revoke at any time. The guide on your page walks through it in about fifteen minutes.
You can import one, and many campaigns do. But the carriers approve programs on the basis of consent, and the TCPA carries penalties of $500 to $1,500 per message for texts people did not agree to receive. Our terms require you to confirm you have consent for every list you upload. The keyword and sign-up pages we set up are how you grow a list that is safe to text week after week.
Plan on two weeks from a complete file: one to two days for Campaign Verify, a day for the brand and campaign submission once your sign-up site is published, then one to five business days of carrier vetting.
On your own account it is yours from day one. On the managed plan, when it opens, the number lives in our account for your program and we port it to you if you leave.
A text is billed per 160-character segment. Twilio's own rate with carrier fees is about 1.2¢ per segment. A 5,000-person list receiving six messages over eight weeks is roughly 30,000 segments, about $360 at Twilio's rates.
We work with any lawfully registered committee or advocacy organization that agrees to our acceptable-use policy. Our job is the plumbing and the paperwork; the message is yours.
