Pricing is subject to change with thirty (30) days' notice to Customer. Subscription fees are billed monthly or annually in advance. Annual subscriptions may include discounts as shown on the product page.
4.2 Message Counting Rules
Messages are counted using industry-standard segmentation rules:
-
Standard SMS (GSM-7 encoding): Messages up to 160 characters count as one (1) message segment. Messages exceeding 160 characters are segmented into multiple messages, with each segment counting as one (1) message (153 characters per segment after concatenation headers).
-
Unicode SMS (for special characters, emojis, non-Latin scripts): Messages up to 70 characters count as one (1) message segment. Messages exceeding 70 characters are segmented into multiple messages, with each segment counting as one (1) message (67 characters per segment after concatenation headers).
-
MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service): Each MMS message counts as one (1) message regardless of content size, up to the carrier-imposed size limit (typically 300KB-600KB).
Customer is responsible for monitoring message length and segmentation to manage costs effectively.
4.3 Message Allocations and Limits
Each subscription plan includes a monthly message allocation as specified on the product page. Message allocations vary by plan tier, with higher tiers providing more messages.
Allocation Enforcement:
- Message allocations reset at the beginning of each billing period
- When Customer reaches their monthly allocation, outbound messaging may be paused until the next billing period or until Customer upgrades to a higher plan
- Customer will receive notifications as they approach their allocation limit (typically at 80% and 95% usage)
- Enterprise plans may include custom allocation arrangements
Daily sending limits may also apply to ensure service quality and carrier compliance. Contact sales@telair.net to discuss higher volume requirements.
4.4 No Rollover Policy
Unused message allocations do not roll over to subsequent billing periods. Messages included in Customer's subscription plan expire upon:
- The end of the billing period (monthly or annually)
- Service cancellation or termination
- Downgrade to a lower-tier plan
Customer is encouraged to monitor usage through the TextFlow dashboard and select a plan appropriate for their messaging volume.
4.5 Plan Changes
Upgrades: Customer may upgrade to a higher-tier plan at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately, with prorated billing for the remainder of the current billing period.
Downgrades: Customer may downgrade to a lower-tier plan with effect at the end of the current billing period. No refunds are provided for the difference between plans. Downgrading may result in loss of access to certain features (such as AI features or auto-responders) that are not included in the lower-tier plan.

Unregistered traffic will be blocked by US mobile carriers.
Customer acknowledges that:
- 10DLC registration is required before sending SMS to US recipients from standard 10-digit phone numbers

- Registration processing delays regardless of duration
- Changes to carrier policies or TCR requirements

Customer assumes all risk of registration rejection, delays, or policy changes. TELAIR recommends reviewing TCR guidelines and carrier requirements before submitting registrations.

- TELAIR will notify Customer of the rejection reason within two (2) business days of receiving notification from TCR
- Customer may correct the issues and resubmit (additional registration fees apply)
