Twilio's base price per outbound SMS segment, from twilio.com, checked on 13 October 2026. Prices change: check twilio.com/sms/pricing before you decide. Twilio is a trademark of Twilio Inc. DroidSender is not affiliated with Twilio.
What Twilio's price per SMS doesn't include
The price in the table is only the starting point. On top of it you usually pay:
- A phone number. To send from a number you rent one every month. In October 2026, Twilio lists $1.15 a month for a US local number, $2.50 for a UK mobile number, $30 for a German mobile number and $135 for a Portuguese mobile number. Many countries only allow a company name as the sender, and people can't reply to a name.
- Carrier fees. In the US, carriers add a fee to every message segment, which Twilio passes on to you.
- Registration. In the US, business texting from a normal number needs A2P 10DLC registration: a one-time brand registration ($4.50), optional vetting ($41.50) and a monthly campaign fee, plus the wait for approval. Other countries ask for sender name registration, company documents or both, and approval can take from days to several weeks.
- Long messages. Twilio charges per segment. One segment holds 160 characters, or only 70 if the message has an emoji or most accented letters (á, ã, ç…). A 200-character message counts as 2 SMS.
What the same texts cost from your own SIM
DroidSender turns your Android phone into the sender. You upload a spreadsheet or use the API on your computer, and the phone sends each text through its SIM card, from the number your customers already know.
- No per-message fee. Each plan includes a number of sends a month: Free 100, Starter 2,000, Pro 10,000, Business 50,000.
- No number to rent and no sender registration. You use the number you already have.
- Replies come back. They land in one inbox on your computer, in the same conversation.
- What you do pay: the plan, and your normal mobile plan for the texts themselves.
Example: 2,000 texts a month

Frequently asked questions
- How much does Twilio charge per SMS?

- Why is Twilio so cheap in the US and so expensive elsewhere?
