A2P 10DLC Fees Explained
Alex Carter
A2P Compliance Expert
A2P 10DLC comes with its own set of fees imposed by The Campaign Registry (TCR) and the carriers. Note: These are separate from A2PReady's one-time service fee. Here is a transparent breakdown of what to expect.
| Fee Type | Who Charges It | Typical Amount | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brand & Campaign Vetting | TCR / Carriers | $19 - $25 | One-Time |
| Campaign Maintenance | TCR | $1.50 - $10.00 | Monthly |
| Per Message Surcharge | Carriers (AT&T, Verizon, etc.) | Fraction of a cent | Per Message |
| A2PReady Service Fee | A2PReady | $50 | One-Time |
Registration Fees (One-Time)
When you submit your registration through GoHighLevel, you pay passthrough fees to TCR. These typically range from $19 to $25 depending on the brand type. This covers the Brand vetting fee and the initial Campaign setup fee.
Monthly Campaign Fees
Keeping a campaign active costs a small monthly fee, usually around $1.50 to $10.00 per month, depending on your use case (Low Volume Mixed is typically on the lower end).

Carriers charge a fraction of a cent for every registered message you send. AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon all have slightly different fractional cent rates.
The Cost of NOT Registering
If you try to send unregistered traffic, you will face severe penalties. Unregistered message fees are significantly higher (often adding $0.005 or more per message), and as of recently, major carriers simply block unregistered traffic entirely. Paying the registration fees is the only viable path forward.
