VA Profile is initiating a pilot to notify Veterans via SMS when their registered emails on VA.gov are undeliverable. To support this, we need to allocate a 10DLC number specifically for SMS notifications. We have five existing numbers in AWS, originally provisioned for VEText but currently unused, which can be repurposed for the VA Profile pilot.
This ticket is focused on assigning one of these numbers for use in VA Profile’s PROD environment.
[ ] Ticket is understood, and QA has been contacted (if the ticket has a QA label).
