Source note · CPaaS voice and messaging pricing compared
Adding the T-Mobile outbound carrier fee of $0.0045 to list rates gives an effective outbound US long code SMS cost of about $0.0128 at Twilio, $0.0122 at Plivo and $0.0085 at Telnyx, so headline rates alone overstate how far apart vendors are in proportion.
