Actually for Germany, the costs for sending an SMS with Twilio is 9 ct. If I’m not mistaken, that is 10x more than what it costs in the US.

  Twilio and Plivo are sub-penny (USD$0.01) per message - for most of NA. International gets a bit more but in USA is cheap.

  Isn't that because in the US the receiver of the SMS also pays?

  That’s actually relatively cheap, considering SMS prices used to be much higher than that until the EU enforced a hard limit of 10ct per SMS as maximum price.

    In what universe is 9 ct for a couple bytes over the wire cheap?
    • kuschku 5y ago
      In the context where, until recently, it was 25ct+ for the same 140 bytes.
