Workflow coverage and comparison notes

Low-volume SMS automations using an owner-controlled Android phone and SIM rather than purchasing API-delivered SMS through Twilio. US long-code SMS list price $0.0083 per sent/received segment plus carrier fees and number charges; geography-specific, not a total savings claim.

Before you switch

You maintain the powered, connected Android phone. Check carrier permission for automation. No managed number provisioning, carrier deliverability service or enterprise A2P throughput guarantee.
