How to quickly get A2P 10DLC verified numbers?

[John Sun]

Just started cold calling with VA's a couple of days ago and we've run into one of our first major issues. Leads are sometimes texting us back at the number we are calling from, however we're unable to respond because the Twilio numbers we're using aren't A2P verified.

We've submitted for verification but understand it can take 6 weeks or months. We're not even sending any text campaigns from these numbers, simply just trying to respond to people who text us back at this number, rather than calling the number we leave in our voicemail. 

Is there any way to quickly get verification?
