Texting Pricing
At Switchboard you are charged for successfully sent outbound texts and nothing else.
Pricing breakdown:
Sending Number | Message Type | Price |
Toll-Free/10DLC | SMS (1-segment) | 1.5¢ |

SMS vs. MMS:

Note that an SMS message with an emoji only has 70 available characters. 🙃
- An MMS message is any message above 160 characters and/or has media attached.
- Your broadcast preview will tell you if the message will be sent as an SMS or MMS.
- No commitments, minimums, setup fees, or prepayment. No charge for inbound messages, cleaning landlines from your lists, or for messages that result in an error.
- No phone number rental charges – we set up sending numbers for you.
- We can set up a shortcode for you, but we pass through all rental costs.
- Pricing is inclusive of telecom fees and is the same for Local or Toll-Free numbers.
- Each account receives a $30 credit, so you can send with no risks or long-term commitment.
