AT&T has imposed a class-based system with different fee amounts depending on the class assigned to a given campaign during the registration process. AT&T has also selected The Campaign Registry (TCR) as a third-party vendor to run their campaign registries. REMAC customers can choose to either register their A2P campaigns with TCR directly or work with REMAC to register campaign information with TCR.
AT&T has a grace period for registration. Starting on March 1, 2021, all outgoing SMS traffic to AT&T incurs a $.002 surcharge and all outgoing MMS traffic incurs a $.0035 surcharge. This grace period has been extended and we’ll provide more information once we have a new date.
Below are the classifications established by TCR and AT&T.
Note: Special use cases will require additional vetting. The classification process and risk classification are proprietary to TCR.
