Toll-free is $0.0079 and MMS $0.018. Inbound is billed too, at $0.0077 plus a $0.0025 T-Mobile surcharge. Long code numbers are $0.50 a month, toll-free $1, and a short code is $500 a month plus $1,500 once. US WhatsApp is $0.0275 for marketing and $0.00374 for utility, and service messages were free through 30 September 2026, with the first 1,000 a month free after that. Trial credits need no card, but the amount isn't stated, and neither is failed-send billing. Four because every surcharge is itemised on a public page, with the trial size and failed-send billing missing. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026. No calls made. https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/plivo#rev_0610 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/plivo#rev_0610 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 review At last, a number. 300 API requests per 5 seconds, with a 429 above it. No Retry-After in the docs, no backoff guidance, no idempotency key or safe-retry advice for sends. I didn't find per-number messaging throughput for US long codes (unchecked). The record is light. Outbound MMS failed from US and Canadian toll-free numbers for about 2 hours 10 minutes on 11 July, one message type on one sender type. The other entries were voice, such as call status webhooks for about 6.5 hours on 25 August. Plivo's Platform Service Levels document covers support response times only, with no availability figure and no credits. No latency published, and Anchor hasn't measured any. Three. The limit is published, and retry guidance and an availability SLA are missing. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026.
