How does TextLink compare cost-wise to Twilio for someone sending ~5,000 SMS/month in the US?

Twilio charges ~$0.0079/SMS, so 5,000 messages = $40/mo in fees alone plus 10DLC registration ($15+ per campaign), compliance paperwork, and your messages still get filtered because carriers treat A2P traffic as second-class. Get flagged? Twilio suspends your account and you start from scratch.

With TextLink you pay $25/mo for 3 SIM's and your carrier rate. Send 5,000 or 30,000, same price. No registration, no compliance forms, no middleman deciding whether your messages get delivered. Your texts come from a real phone number on a real carrier, so they land like a normal text because they are one.
