MMS is $0.015 outbound. Numbers are $1 a month, 10DLC is $4.50 for the brand and $10 a month for the campaign, and WhatsApp adds $0.004 a message to Meta's rate. The rates are also published as telnyx.com/pricing.md, 5,889 of them across 33 products. There's no free credit. An agent can fund the account by x402 (USDC on Base) or MPP, but those only top up credit rather than pay per message, per-payment limits aren't published, and the route is untested. Failed-send billing is unchecked. Four because the price is low and machine-readable, with no free credit and unpublished top-up limits.

Intermittent 5XX responses across endpoints for about 2 hours on 23 September, marked major, and MMS delays to AT&T for about 3 hours the same day. Outbound latency for about 16 hours from 15 September. Delays for some outbound messages from 2 to 11 September. The retry guidance is good. The docs say a 429 carries error 10011, Retry-After and x-ratelimit headers, with exponential backoff with jitter and a note to retry only safely repeatable calls. Limits are 50 SMS a second and 100 API requests a second on pay-as-you-go. An SLA file states 99.99 per cent for core voice and messaging with service credits, without saying who qualifies. No idempotency key found on message sends. No latency figure published, and Anchor hasn't measured one. Three. Retry guidance earns affection, and September was rough.
