Twilio SMS Price Reduced – Now $0.02 per Message

We’re excited to announce that we have reduced Twilio SMS pricing from $0.03 per message in or out by 33%, to $0.02 per message. This price reduction is immediate, and applies to all existing and future Twilio customers. You don’t need to do anything, the change is automatically reflected in your SMS logs and account balance.

This price reduction follows previous pricing breaks on phone numbers which we announced in February at the launch of Twilio SMS and lower prices for Twilio Voice API minutes which we announced earlier this fall, and is part of our continued commitment to pass on savings to our customers as we reach greater and greater economies of scale.
