What is the change?
T-Mobile and AT&T have announced they will be charging additional per-message fees for messages sent with toll-free numbers. Qualtrics will pass these fees through to you with no additional markup.
Starting on June 30 2021, the cost of SMS messages sent to or from the United States will increase from $.006 (0.6 credits) to $.007 or (0.7 credits) per message.
What action do I need to take?
The price per message sent in the US will be updated automatically in the Qualtrics system on June 30 2021, which means that no action is needed from you.
