Carrier fees are charged by carriers for A2P 10DLC messages sent to users on their networks. These fees are applied in addition to the standard US and Canadian Messaging pricing. In general, the fees are applied for each outbound SMS segment or MMS message. T-Mobile (including Sprint) also applies fees to inbound SMS and MMS.
Disclaimer: The receiving carrier of your outbound text messages can vary and is subject to change. Please contact the receiving carrier with questions about the fees. Note: CallTrackingMetrics does not currently charge a markup on 10DLC fees. All 10DLC-related fees are passed on to the customer at cost.
