Carrier Pass-through Fees on the Rise

The registration saga continues – T-Mobile (and Sprint) will be joining AT&T in increasing unregistered A2P 10-digit long code (10DLC) pass-through fees beginning June 1, 2023. In T-Mobile’s instance, they will be increasing the per-message pass-through fee cost incrementally every two months through December:

As we shared a few weeks back, AT&T will also be increasing unregistered 10DLC pass-through fees to the following per-message costs starting June 1, 2023: 

Registered 10DLC messaging costs will not change. 

How to Easily Avoid Higher 10DLC Pass-Through Fees

While these increases may feel like a gut punch, the Carriers are ultimately doing their part to encourage 10DLC registration with The Campaign Registry (TCR) to protect end users from SPAM and a negative A2P SMS & MMS experience. Once registered, businesses experience zero filtering, much lower pass-through fees, and higher throughput or rate limits designated for your specific messaging use cases. 

Don’t wait for some deadline to register your 10DLC traffic – start now and ensure you keep your costs low at these June 1 increases loom.
