What is a Regulatory Bundle

A regulatory bundle is a set of documents needed to register a phone number. 
Provisioning phone numbers in most countries require registration due to local telephony laws. These regulations often require providing set of identity documentation aka Regulatory Bundle to carriers or a local enforcement agency. 
Dedicated phone number, once registered and integrated with the system is what allows for functions like 2-way text, missed call text back, sales call, call reporting to functions, as well as any automated sms that are programmed in the   to work.
The documents required will differ depending on country and regulatory laws. For full details on this ➝ https://www.twilio.com/guidelines/regulatory

Why do you need one

The purpose of providing this identifying documentation for your business is to establish trust with both the regulators and ultimately your customers. 
Any business that uses phone, voicemail or sms for sales, marketing and customer care purposes needs it.

1. Go to 'Regulatory Bundle/Address part of the system

Head into the Sub-account > Click Settings (bottom left menu) > Phone numbers > Regulatory Bundle/Address

On the top right click on Create to create regulatory bundle/address for the sub-account:
