How much does SMS messaging cost?

SMS pricing varies by carrier and country, but typical US rates are $0.01-0.03 per message. Our platform fee is separate from carrier costs. High-volume senders get discounted rates.

Can I use my existing business phone number?

Yes. If your number is SMS-capable, we can enable it for automated texting. If not, we will provision a new local or toll-free number for your business.

What is A2P 10DLC registration?

A2P 10DLC is a carrier requirement for business texting in the US. It verifies your business identity and use case, improving deliverability and preventing spam. We handle the entire registration process for you.

Can the agent send MMS (pictures)?

Yes. Your agent can send images, PDFs, and other media via MMS. This is useful for sending product photos, receipts, or appointment confirmations with visual content.

How are opt-outs handled?

When a customer texts STOP, our system immediately removes them from all messaging lists and sends a confirmation. This is fully automatic and cannot be overridden.

Can I schedule texts for specific times?

Yes. You can schedule one-time messages or recurring sequences. The agent automatically respects quiet hours (8 AM - 9 PM in the recipient's time zone).

SMS Compliance & Regulations

TCPA (Telephone Consumer Protection Act)

In the US, you must obtain prior express written consent before sending marketing texts. Violations can cost $500-$1,500 per unsolicited message.

A2P 10DLC Registration

All business SMS in the US must be registered through A2P 10DLC (Application-to-Person 10-Digit Long Code). Unregistered numbers face filtering and blocking by carriers.

Opt-Out Requirements

Every SMS must honor STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, and CANCEL keywords. Opt-out processing must be immediate and automatic.

Quiet Hours

TCPA restricts marketing texts to 8 AM - 9 PM in the recipient's local time zone. Sending outside these hours can result in complaints and fines.

Message Throughput & Carrier Filtering

Carriers actively filter high-volume SMS traffic. Messages flagged as spam can be silently dropped, and repeated violations can result in your number being permanently blocked.
