Why RingCentral Rejected Your Application
RingCentral enforces rigorous TCR (The Campaign Registry) requirements that mandate every registered brand must have a verifiable, operational online presence. This is not arbitrary; it is a core component of "Know Your Customer" (KYC) protocols designed to prevent spam and fraud on carrier networks. Submissions referencing social media profiles (Facebook, LinkedIn), "Coming Soon" pages, or broken links are automatically flagged as insufficient for business verification.
The Compliance Gap
Simply having a website isn't enough. To pass RingCentral's manual review process, your site must host specific compliance artifacts that prove you operate legally and handle consumer data responsibly. Common failure points include:
Missing Policies
Lack of a Privacy Policy containing specific SMS data handling disclosures regarding third-party sharing.
No Business Info
Website fails to clearly display the legal business name, physical address, and contact methods matching your application.
Dead Links
Broken URLs, password-protected pages, or placeholder templates that prevent manual brand verification.
How to Fix the "No Website" Rejection
You don't need to build a complex corporate website from scratch or hire a developer. The fastest path to approval is deploying a dedicated compliance microsite that satisfies every RingCentral and TCR requirement instantly.

1
Deploy Compliance Microsite
Launch a secure MyTCRPlus microsite (e.g., yourbrand.mytcrplus.com) pre-loaded with required legal policies, contact information, and business identity details.
What we provide: A live URL with SSL, Privacy Policy, Terms, and Opt-In language specifically drafted for TCR approval. -
2
Update RingCentral Profile
Log into the RingCentral Admin Portal. Navigate to 10DLC Registration > Brand Details. Replace the empty or social media URL with your new microsite link.
-
3
Submit for Re-Verification
Submit the updated profile. RingCentral's automated checks will verify the valid URL, privacy policy presence, and SSL security immediately, moving you to the next stage.
Technical Verification Requirements
To satisfy TCR vetting, your website must strictly adhere to CTIA best practices. MyTCRPlus microsites automatically include these mandatory technical elements that DIY solutions often miss:
Content Requirements
- Business Name Match: Legal name must appear exactly as registered in footer/contact page.
- Physical Address: Must match the address on your EIN letter/business license.
- Support Email: Must be a domain email (e.g., support@yourbrand.com), not Gmail/Yahoo.
Policy Requirements
- Non-Sharing Clause: "Mobile information will not be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes."
- Frequency Disclosure: "Message frequency varies" statement in Terms.
- Fee Disclosure: "Message and data rates may apply."
RingCentral Specific Vetting Criteria
RingCentral's vetting partners perform specific checks on: Domain Age (new domains trigger higher scrutiny), SSL Validity (expired certs = auto-fail), and Load Time (timeout = verification failure). MyTCRPlus manages all these technical parameters for you.

Why Social Media Profiles Fail
Many businesses attempt to use Facebook Business Pages, LinkedIn profiles, or Instagram accounts as their "Business Website" during RingCentral registration. This results in automatic rejection for three critical reasons:
Lack of Control
Social profiles do not allow you to host a compliant Privacy Policy or Terms of Service with the specific legal language carriers require.
Identity Verification Failure
Social profiles are easily spoofed. A dedicated domain (e.g., yourcompany.com) provides a higher trust signal for brand verification.
No Opt-In Mechanism
You cannot host a compliant TCPA opt-in form on a standard social media profile page.
