-
Register your sender ID/header for SMS sending

Create and register SMS templates for your content
-

We act as your compliance partner, guiding you through each step while you focus on your business.
Do you register the DLT on my behalf or just guide me?
We provide assisted support - this means we guide you step-by-step through the entire process. Since DLT portals require the business owner's credentials and documents, the actual submission must be done from your end. However, we:
-
Prepare all documents and applications for you
-
Tell you exactly what to fill and where to click
-
Review everything before submission
-
Handle any rejections or modifications
-
Ensure 100% accuracy throughout
Think of us as your expert sitting beside you, making the process effortless.
Why can't TechToNetworks directly register my DLT for me?
DLT portals require authentication using your business credentials (email, mobile, documents). For security and compliance reasons, TRAI mandates that registrations be done by the business owner or authorized signatory. We cannot access your DLT portal directly, but we make the process so simple that you'll complete it easily with our guidance.
Do I need to be technically skilled to use your DLT assistance?
Not at all! Our service is designed for business owners with zero technical knowledge. We provide:
