Carrier passthrough fees
Overview
U.S. and Canadian carriers apply per-segment surcharges or fees to A2P (Application-to-Person) traffic. These fees are charged by carriers (like AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon) for sending or receiving SMS and MMS messages on their networks.
Fees vary by carrier, message type (SMS or MMS), and direction (inbound or outbound).
- Inbound / Mobile Originating (MO): Messages received by SignalWire phone numbers
- Outbound / Mobile Terminating (MT): Messages sent by SignalWire phone numbers
SignalWire passes on carrier-imposed surcharges at-cost, with no additional markup. The tables below outline current rates, subject to change based on carrier updates.
