📨 Messaging Monetization Suite — FAQs
Common questions about phone numbers, Reputation Shield, A2P 10DLC registration, and Autonomous Campaigns.
How much do phone numbers cost?
A pooled SMS number is $1.15/mo — that's the carrier's own monthly price passed straight through, with no markup from CloudFran — plus a one-time $5 provisioning fee to set it up on your account.
The number gives you a dedicated 10-digit long code (10DLC) for sending and receiving SMS, with inbound replies and STOP/HELP handling included. To actually text US customers you'll also need A2P 10DLC registration (see below). Per-message usage is billed separately: SMS $0.05/segment, email $0.03/send.
What is Reputation Shield — will my texts stop showing as "Scam Likely"?
Yes — that's exactly what it's for. Reputation Shield is $4/mo per number. It gives you branded caller ID (your business name shows instead of an unknown number) and enrolls your number in the carrier anti-spam programs so it isn't flagged as "Scam Likely" or "Spam Risk."
For the strongest protection, pair Reputation Shield with A2P 10DLC registration. Numbers without it are far more likely to get labeled as spam.
Do I have to do A2P 10DLC registration myself, or can you do it for me?
Either way — your choice. A2P 10DLC is the US carrier program every business must register with to text customers. It has two parts:
- Brand — $12 one-time (vets your business: EIN, address, contact)
- Campaign — $30/mo for Marketing/Mixed use cases, or $20/mo for Standard
Do it yourself, guided: the Compliance Wizard walks you through both steps, fills in the technical fields correctly, and flags anything that would fail vetting.
Have us do it: Managed A2P Filing is a $99 one-time concierge service where our team files your Brand and Campaign for you and works any rejections. (The underlying Brand/Campaign registration fees still apply.)
How does One-Click Campaign work?
One-Click Campaign turns an idea into a launched, compliant SMS campaign in a single step by running four things for you:
- Format — structures your message correctly for SMS (segments, required opt-out language, sender identity)
- Prefill — fills in campaign details from your account (brand, number, audience)
- Verify — checks the message against A2P and content-safety rules before anything sends
- Launch — delivers to your clean audience (duplicates and opt-outs already removed)
It catches the mistakes that usually get campaigns blocked — missing opt-out text, wrong segment counts, an unregistered use case — so a non-expert can launch a correct campaign without learning the 10DLC rulebook.
What are Autonomous Campaigns and how do they stay compliant?
Autonomous Campaigns is a $99/mo add-on where the AI runs your SMS program end to end: it composes the message, schedules it, and self-verifies that it's compliant before it goes out. You set the goals, audiences, and budget; the AI executes within those guardrails.
Compliance is built into the loop:
- Messages send only on your A2P-registered Brand/Campaign, from a Reputation-Shield-covered number
- Every AI-composed message is checked against A2P and content-safety rules (opt-out language, prohibited content, formatting) before it queues
- STOP opt-outs are enforced automatically; HELP/START are handled platform-wide
- Timing and frequency guardrails prevent over-messaging
The $99/mo covers the AI add-on; per-message usage (SMS $0.05/segment, email $0.03/send) is billed as normal.
What does it all cost together?
You mix and match what you need:
- Number: $1.15/mo (carrier cost, no markup) + $5 one-time provisioning
- Reputation Shield: $4/mo per number
- A2P Brand: $12 one-time · Campaign: $30/mo (Marketing/Mixed) or $20/mo (Standard)
- Managed A2P Filing (optional concierge): $99 one-time
- Autonomous Campaigns (optional AI add-on): $99/mo
- Usage: SMS $0.05/segment, email $0.03/send
