Texting that doesn't nickel-and-dime.
One quoted rate, starting at $0.015/msg — we absorb the carrier fees and 10DLC campaign costs everyone else foots-notes onto your bill.
Inbound free · 10DLC handled for you · No contracts
How it's different
All-in, per message, actually
Most texting providers quote a headline rate, then stack carrier pass-through, campaign fees, and a 'platform fee' on top. We don't.
10DLC, handled
We register your brand and campaign with the carriers on your behalf. It's the compliance step everyone dreads — we just do it, and the fee's already in your rate.
Inbound is free
Replies, opt-outs, and conversations coming back to you never count against your plan or your bill. Ever.
One all-in rate
The price on the tag is the price per message. No per-segment carrier fee, no campaign surcharge, no 'telecom fee' line item waiting in the invoice.
Everyone else's invoice
- Base per-message rate
- + carrier surcharge fee
- + 10DLC campaign fee
- + platform / telecom fee
Stacks up fast, one line at a time.
The TCSS invoice
One number. Nothing else on the tag.

FAQ
Questions about Business SMS
10DLC (10-digit long code) is the carrier-mandated registration system for business texting on regular phone numbers. Skip it and your messages get filtered or blocked. We register your brand and campaign for you and absorb the campaign fee into your rate — you never see a separate line item or a compliance form.
