US & Canada. Prepaid in USD: you buy credits and usage draws them down.
Outbound texts are billed per segment (160 plain characters, or 70 with an
emoji or other special character; longer texts are split into 153- or 67-
character segments). Carrier fees are passed through at cost, per segment, as
the recipient's carrier charges them:

| Recipient's carrier | Local number | Toll-free number |
| --- | --- | --- |
| AT&T | $0.0035 | $0.0035 |
| T-Mobile | $0.0045 | $0.0045 |
| Verizon | $0.005 | $0.005 |
| U.S. Cellular | $0.005 | $0.0045 |
| Other carriers | $0.0045 | $0.0045 |

Credits are drawn when the carrier accepts the message: failed sends cost
nothing, fees included.

We file your A2P 10DLC registration for you. Registration fees (brand,
campaign and vetting fees) are not part of these rates: they are billed on
their own invoice, as [Terms §4.3](/terms) sets out. Toll-free verification
has no fee. Carriers usually
review a registration in 3-7 business days, and you can text your own verified
numbers the same day.

Phone verification is charged only when a code is successfully verified.
Blocked, expired, and abandoned attempts are free.

Credits do not expire while your account is open. A call your balance cannot
cover is refused (402 insufficient_credits) and not charged.

## Free tier

The free tier needs no credit card:

- **100 live outbound SMS per month** (10 per day)
- **1 phone number**
- Live texts go only to numbers you've verified (up to 3)
- **Unlimited sandbox**: every endpoint, no caps, no card, no verification
- 30-day log retention: messages, the event log, conversations and API request logs older than 30 days are deleted daily. Opt-out and opt-in records, registrations, billing records and the audit log are kept as the [Data Retention](/data-retention) page says

Add credits to lift every cap, text anyone, keep your logs for the life of the account, and unlock live carrier lookups.

## Notes

- We file your 10DLC registration for you. Registration fees (brand, campaign, vetting) are billed separately from the per-segment rate; toll-free verification has no fee. Carriers usually review in 3-7 business days; you can text your own verified numbers the same day.
