A2P - Fee Updates 03/03/20

Effective March 3, Verizon Wireless will activate a new commercial long code fee structure. 10 Digit Long Codes (10DLC) A2P (Application to Person) messaging costs will increase.

A pass through fee of $0.0025 per mobile terminated SMS message and $0.005 per mobile terminated MMS message will be added. thinQ will pass this fee through to our partners at no markup. We believe other carriers will add a similar fee to their messaging soon. We will notify you when this occurs, and update our thinQ Long Code Text Messaging | Surcharge & Fee Structure page.

Verizon has developed their A2P solution to enable 10DLC traffic while protecting end users against undesirable commercial messages. To increase deliverability and avoid blocking, ensure that your traffic complies with CTIA's Messaging Principles and Best Practices
