Brand Registration and Campaign Vetting Fees
When registering for A2P 10DLC, both the brand and campaign must be submitted through the Trust Center. HighLevel presents these as a single, bundled one-time fee at the time of registration.
Monthly campaign fees are billed separately and vary based on campaign use case and volume. If a campaign is rejected and resubmitted, no additional Campaign Vetting Fee is charged for each resubmission.
Brand Types (Registration Tier) and Initial Fees
Includes Secondary Vetting for A2P 10DLC in case of first submission being rejected.
Additional Campaigns and Resubmissions
The bundled one-time fee is only charged during the initial registration of your brand and first campaign. It does not apply to future campaigns under the same brand.
Monthly Campaign Fees
Monthly campaign fees are recurring charges based on the messaging use case selected during campaign registration. Each campaign type has a monthly rate defined by TCR. Certain use cases may require additional vetting or documentation. Fees may vary based on use case sub-type.
Supports up to 2,000 SMS segments per day to T-Mobile and receives lower throughput regardless of Trust Score.
Per-Message Carrier Fees
Carrier fees are applied per message segment and vary based on registration status and carrier. These are charged in addition to the LC Phone messaging rates.
Carriers may block or surcharge unregistered messages. Ensure your numbers are linked to registered A2P campaigns.
T-Mobile acquired the Sprint network in 2020. Some devices still appear as "Sprint" in a Lookup. Messages sent to these users will have the same fees as other messages to T-Mobile.
SMS, MMS, and Voice Usage Rates via LC Phone
In addition to carrier and campaign fees, LC Phone usage is billed at Twilio's base passthrough rates. These include costs for sending and receiving SMS/MMS and voice calls. All rates are by segment and apply to both toll-free and local numbers unless otherwise noted.
