Pricing questions

Are these fees part of the base SMS rate?
Carrier and registration fees are listed separately from the base SMS segment rate. Combine the applicable items when estimating a campaign or conversation.
Which carrier fees apply to my messages?
Use the destination, carrier and sender type relevant to your traffic. A fee for one route or number type is not a universal rate for every SMS.
Are registration charges recurring?
Review the frequency and billing unit shown for each registration or campaign charge. Setup and recurring charges should be budgeted separately.
Does number rental replace registration fees?
Number rental and registration serve different purposes and can both apply. Review number pricing, registration requirements and message charges before launch.
