The table below shows campaign registration fees (use case types) that will be available for registration under the United States A2P 10DLC.

Additional vetting (optional) fee

Those who opt for vetting will have to bare primary vetting charges. Vetting is also provisioned with secondary charges that enable businesses to maximize their daily limits and throughput.

The main benefit of opting for secondary vetting is that your brand will go under an additional review from carriers; which in return will maximize the throughput for every campaign and enable higher daily messaging limits. This will maximize the trust score and assure the accuracy of information.
