TNID governs identity & permissions. TSG designs programs that deliver—and keep delivering.
Last updated: October 20, 2025
TNID provides cryptographic verification and tamper-proof identity attestation for long-code messaging programs, creating a shared source of truth that carriers trust and reducing compliance risk.
Single, authoritative identity system that all parties can trust and verify. Because long-code messaging relies on carrier trust, TNID establishes a unified verification framework that eliminates identity disputes and strengthens your reputation across the messaging ecosystem.
Cryptographic verification ensures identity claims cannot be falsified or manipulated. Therefore, your consent records and permission claims remain auditable and trustworthy, providing ironclad proof of compliance when carriers investigate complaints or delivery issues.
Seamless compatibility with carriers, platforms, and compliance systems. If you manage multiple long-code numbers or messaging channels, then TNID provides the integration layer that ensures consistent identity and permission management across your entire infrastructure.
Continuous compliance monitoring with automated updates and audit trails. This means your long-code programs maintain carrier compliance standards in real-time, with comprehensive documentation automatically prepared for any carrier audit or investigation.
Build messaging programs with verifiable consent mechanisms that protect your brand and comply with regulations. We architect opt-in experiences that capture explicit permission while maintaining user trust and regulatory compliance across all touchpoints.
Real-time monitoring of number reputation, brand perception, and complaint patterns across carriers. Our intelligence platform tracks carrier feedback, spam scores, and user complaints to identify issues before they impact delivery rates.
Pre-approved message templates and quality assurance processes that ensure ongoing compliance. We develop carrier-approved messaging frameworks that balance effective communication with compliance requirements, then continuously monitor for drift.
We evaluate your current long-code messaging setup, identify compliance gaps, and map your identity requirements to TNID standards. This diagnostic phase examines your consent flows, message content, complaint history, and carrier relationships to reveal exactly where your program needs strengthening.
Your brand identity, consent flows, and messaging programs are structured according to TNID specifications for maximum trust and verification. We implement cryptographic attestation for all permission claims and design consent experiences that meet both carrier standards and user expectations.
We implement the complete solution—program design, monitoring, and ongoing compliance management—so you can focus on your business. Our platform handles carrier relationships, complaint management, reputation monitoring, and automated remediation without requiring dedicated resources from your team.
TNID-verified identity and compliant messaging patterns maintain long-term carrier trust and message delivery. Our clients maintain delivery rates above 95% consistently, avoiding the degradation that typically affects unmanaged long-code programs over time.
Proactive monitoring and policy-aligned messaging prevent violations before they impact your business. We identify compliance drift early, implement corrections automatically, and maintain comprehensive audit trails that protect against carrier penalties.
Unified identity management ensures consistent brand experience across all messaging channels. Whether customers engage via long-code SMS, short code, or other channels, TNID maintains a single source of truth for identity and permissions.

Common questions about long-code messaging, TNID integration, and program design
Long-code messaging uses standard 10-digit phone numbers for business text messaging, as opposed to short codes which are 5-6 digit numbers. Long codes are more cost-effective, easier to obtain, and support two-way conversations, making them ideal for customer service, notifications, and relationship-building communications. However, long codes require more careful compliance management because they lack the pre-vetted status that short codes receive.
Long-code programs typically fail due to inadequate consent documentation, missing or improper disclosures, high complaint rates, poor message content quality, or lack of proper STOP/HELP keyword handling. Carriers monitor these factors and will filter or block numbers that don't meet compliance standards. Without proactive management, even well-intentioned programs can drift into non-compliance as messaging volumes scale or use cases evolve.
TNID provides cryptographic verification of your business identity and consent mechanisms. This creates an auditable trail that proves compliance to carriers, reducing the risk of filtering or blocking. TNID's tamper-proof attestation ensures your identity and permission claims are trustworthy throughout the messaging ecosystem, giving carriers confidence that your program operates with legitimate consent and proper oversight.
