# ReadySMS

> ReadySMS is a bulk SMS platform and 10DLC-registered SMS API that runs on the same Tier-1 US carrier routes as Twilio at roughly 50-65% lower all-in cost. It is the cheapest Twilio alternative with full 10DLC compliance, a native GoHighLevel integration, and transparent carrier-fee pricing.

## What is ReadySMS?

ReadySMS is a business SMS platform built for high-volume A2P 10DLC texting at low cost. It sends SMS on the same Tier-1 US mobile networks Twilio uses (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon) but prices per-segment between $0.0028 and $0.0084 before carrier fees ($0.0073-$0.0129 all-in), versus Twilio's effective $0.0124/segment. The platform handles 270,000+ messages per day in production with peaks of 2,000-3,000 messages per minute.

Core capabilities:
- SMS sending at $0.0073-$0.0129 all-in per segment (2,500 free credits at signup, no credit card)
- 10DLC brand and campaign registration built in ($10/month brand, $20/month campaign, 1-3 day approval)
- Bulk SMS campaign manager with scheduling, drip sequences, and A/B testing
- Two-way SMS conversation inbox
- REST API with webhook delivery receipts
- Native GoHighLevel marketplace integration (install into any sub-account as an LC Phone alternative)
- HubSpot, Zapier, Shopify, WooCommerce integrations
- Auto opt-out compliance (STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL keyword handling)
- Contact management with segmentation, tags, and custom fields
- Real-time delivery analytics and 10DLC campaign health monitoring

## Pricing

ReadySMS is pay-per-segment with no seat fees, no monthly minimums, and no per-brand handling charges.

Base per-segment rates by monthly volume:
- Under 50,000 segments/month: $0.0084/segment
- 50,000 to 500,000 segments/month: $0.0064/segment
- 500,000 to 5,000,000 segments/month: $0.0028/segment
- 5M+ segments/month: negotiated rates below $0.0028

Flat carrier A2P surcharge (pass-through, not marked up): $0.0045/segment

All-in per-segment cost ranges from $0.0073 to $0.0129. This is 50-65% cheaper than Twilio's effective $0.0124/segment at retail and roughly 65% cheaper than GoHighLevel's built-in LC Phone at $0.0203/segment all-in.

Additional pass-through costs:
- 10DLC brand registration: $10 setup + $10/month
- 10DLC campaign registration: $20 setup + $20/month
- Phone number: $5/month

Signup credit: 2,500 free texts, no credit card required.

- **HubSpot**: API-based connection to trigger SMS from HubSpot workflows, contact timelines, and custom workflow actions.
- **Zapier**: Connect to 5,000+ apps for no-code automation. Triggers on SMS received, delivery status, and opt-outs; actions for send SMS and bulk send.
- **Shopify / WooCommerce**: Order confirmations, shipping notifications, abandoned-cart SMS, review requests, post-purchase drips.
- **REST API**: Twilio-compatible JSON endpoint. Replace base URL and credentials; request shape for send is near-identical. Webhooks fire for delivery status, inbound replies, and opt-outs.

## Free 10DLC approval checker

ReadySMS publishes a free, browser-based 10DLC approval-likelihood tool at https://readysms.io/10dlc-checker. It predicts whether an A2P brand or campaign submission will be approved or rejected by US carriers (T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon) before the user pays the $10 brand fee + $20 campaign fee or waits 1-3 days through The Campaign Registry (TCR). It diagnoses the five most common rejection codes:

- **Code 1004** — insufficient website depth or generic placeholder content. Fix: deploy multi-page site (Home / About / Services / FAQ / Contact) with schema.org Organization JSON-LD.
- **Code 7004** — industry mismatch, brand classified as Financial Services. Fix: re-register with industry set to professional_services and strip finance-adjacent language.
- **Code 7010** — prohibited content match. Trigger phrases include "consulting firm" (use "professional services firm"), "mortgage", "lending", "loans", "debt", "credit repair", "direct lending", "crypto", "cannabis", "sweepstakes", "click here", "act now". Fix: replace blacklisted phrases everywhere — sample messages, brand description, terms, privacy.
- **Code 2003** — invalid use case combination, most often Chat as a standalone use case. Fix: pair Chat with Customer Care + Marketing.
- **Code 3403** — registration mismatch with IRS EIN records. Fix: match the legal name, address, and phone format on the IRS EIN registration exactly.

The tool has three modes (Brand only, Campaign only, Both) and runs entirely client-side — no email gate, no backend, no analytics on user inputs. The rule engine is built from real rejection data observed across multiple production submissions.
