# What are the fees associated with texts from my Text-to-Church number?

## 500 outgoing texts sent through your Text-to-Church number are included; each additional text is 2 cents. There are high-volume texting packages available.

Text-to-Church is included in the All-Pro, MVP, and Homerun pricing packages of Churchteams. 

- **500 outgoing texts sent through Text-to-Church (includes Workflows, mass texts, and conversational) are included monthly. Each additional text is $0.02 each.**
- **MMS (texts that include image and audio files) are billed as 1 for 3.**  For each MMS text you send, you are billed as 3 regular texts.
- There is no charge for regular incoming SMS texts or the link that is sent back out as a result of texting in a Keyword.  We do, however, charge a nominal fee for incoming MMS image and audio files: The first 30 you receive are free, and each MMS audio or image file beyond the first 30 is charged at 3 cents each.

Bulk-rate Texting Plans are available if you plan on regularly sending more than 500 texts per month (pricing chart at the bottom of this page). Depending on the number of texts you send, you could incur some additional fees per text . 

- When sending basic SMS, every 159 characters in an outgoing text count as 1 text. Ex: a text message containing 300 characters will count as 2 texts sent.    To redirect to a website, use the [Text-to-Link feature](https://help.churchteams.com/knowledge/text-to-link?hsLang=en) highlighted above. **\*\*For longer text messages, we recommend sending a MMS message (which counts as 3 SMS texts) which allows 1600 characters.**
- The text-sending page displays a month-to-date count of scheduled and sent texts, as well as the cost of sending the text you are working on.  You will also see the price to send the text on the green Send button.
