What are carrier surcharges and how are they applied?

As of December 2020, you'll begin to see the carrier surcharges on your invoice broken out by carrier. Previously, these appeared on your invoice as a blended surcharge for both US Long Code and Canadian messages. As the messaging ecosystem evolves, we'll keep this list up to date. If you have any questions, please review our Messaging Carrier Surcharge FAQ.

As of March 1, AT&T is passing through a single rate surcharge for while customers register traffic as part of their 10DLC program. That rate is reflected below- please see our 10 DLC Overview article for more information on the surcharges after this grace period. 

As of April 1, T-Mobile is passing through per-message surcharges reflected below. Please see our 10 DLC Overview article for more information about T-Mobile's 10DLC program.

As of July 1, AT&T and T-Mobile will begin charging surcharges for toll-free traffic. We have posted them here early so you can begin calculating the impact it will have for you.
