10DLC Cost Calculator
Estimate your full 10DLC cost stack — one-time registration and vetting, plus the recurring monthly campaign fees and per-message carrier surcharges. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
Pick your registration path, vetting, campaign count, use case, carrier mix, and monthly volume. The calculator itemizes the one-time cost (brand + vetting + per-campaign DCA vetting + T-Mobile activation + optional SBR) and the recurring monthly cost (per-campaign fees + per-message surcharges + registry number fee).
How it works
- One-time total = brand registration + external vetting (if any) + DCA campaign vetting ($15 per campaign, per submission) + T-Mobile activation ($50 per campaign) + the optional Special Business Review ($500/brand) when you need to exceed 200,000 daily segments to T-Mobile.
- Monthly total = your use-case monthly fee × number of campaigns + per-message surcharge × monthly volume + the ~$0.02/month industry registry fee per text-enabled number (estimated at one number per campaign).
- The surcharge basis lets you plan against a single carrier’s per-segment rate or a blended average. Real billing depends on your actual carrier traffic mix and your CSP’s markup.
Caveats
These are planning estimates only. TCR publishes scheduled fee increases (the last confirmed bump was Aug 1, 2025), carrier surcharges change frequently, and CSPs may bundle or mark up the pass-through fees. Verify every amount against the official TCR Fees & Pricing PDF before quoting it to anyone. See the full breakdown on the 10DLC fees reference page.
