US SMS at $0.0083 a segment plus $0.0035 to $0.005 in carrier fees, with inbound charged at the same rate.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Infobip API + MCP\n\n1. Use the account's own base URL (\u003csubdomain\u003e.api.infobip.com), not a generic host\n2. Connect only the MCP server for the channel you need, the RCS server alone has 27 tools\n3. Create a key with only the scopes the agent needs and an expiry date\n4. Send trial messages from ServiceSMS to verified numbers only (up to 5)\n\n### Twilio API + MCP\n\n1. Use the hosted docs MCP to find the endpoint, then call the REST API with a restricted API key\n2. Set `ValidityPeriod` on time-sensitive sends, or a queued message can go out up to 10 hours late\n3. Check the Messages list for the original before retrying a send that timed out, there's no idempotency key\n4. Send only to verified numbers on a trial account, other recipients fail\n5.
