10DLC throughput & cost calculator
Estimate the carrier-assigned throughput a US 10DLC brand gets at a given TCR trust-vetting score — T-Mobile's Brand Daily Cap and AT&T's per-campaign MPM class — and what sending at that ceiling would cost per day at published rates. No sign-up required.

Throughput tiers mirror the published CTIA 10DLC MNO reference figures (2026 edition); carriers revise them periodically and a real brand's assigned tier depends on its actual TCR vetting result, not a slider. Cost uses Orbit's published US SMS per-segment starter rate — see the full pricing breakdown.
Frequently asked questions
- What is 10DLC?
- 10DLC (10-digit long code) is the US carrier framework for application-to-person (A2P) SMS sent from standard 10-digit numbers. Senders register a Brand and Campaign with The Campaign Registry (TCR); carriers then assign real send throughput based on the brand's vetting (trust) score.
- Does a higher trust score always mean higher throughput?
- Yes, up to the carrier's top tier. T-Mobile's Brand Daily Cap and AT&T's per-campaign MPM class both step up at published trust-score floors, and a Sole Proprietor brand is held at the lowest tier by carrier policy regardless of score.
- Is the cost estimate my actual bill?
- It's an estimate at Orbit's published US SMS per-segment starter rate, assuming you send exactly up to the assigned throughput ceiling every day. Your real bill depends on actual segment volume, destination mix, and any negotiated rate card.
