How much does sending a text message cost?

The following messaging rates applies to all messages sent and received.

1 SMS (US and Canada)

• Up to 160 characters, or 70 characters if emojis or special characters are included.
• Sent to a number with a country code of 1 (US, Canada, Puerto Rico, and several other Caribbean Islands)

1 SMS (International)

• Up to 160 characters, or 70 characters if emojis or special characters are included.
• Sent to a number using an international country code (any country code other than 1)

1 MMS 

• Up to 1600 characters or 700 characters if emojis or special characters are included + 5MB attachment.
• These can be sent internationally without any additional credit usage.

If you send a message that has more characters than the character limits shown above, it will send, but will basically create secondary messages with the above credit usage.

For example, if you send an SMS with 300 characters, you will be using 2 credits, since 1 SMS has a max of 160 characters.
