SMS Political Rates are very straight forward.  Our costs are broken into two sub categories: standard message deployment and cellular match back.

Standard Message Deployment Pricing

Pricing for standard deployment of messages will include data, deployment (SMPP ONLY), and hosting fees of approved short codes. Pricing for political campaigns is based on several factors.  Volume of records and usage of “Free To End User” Status text messaging.  We are committed to deployments on the “FTEU” platform ensuring that all recipients of text messages will not be charged from their wireless carriers.  Politics is part of a democracy, that democracy is free to our members.Pricing for campaigns over five million message is assessed on a volume basis and will require cross carrier notification before deployment. 

Cellular Match Back Pricing

The pricing for voter match back services is conducted on a per project basis. The market rate for this information ranges between $0.40 and $0.75 per positively identified record, depending on the accuracy of the data. As an example, if a client submits 500,000 records and SMS Political matches and deploys 27% of those records, the client will be bill for 135,000 completed records, or between $54,000 and $101,250.
