# Ready

> Ready sends SMS on the same Tier-1 US carrier routes as Twilio (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon) and gets you live in minutes with self-serve A2P 10DLC registration (most approvals same-day) — with transparent, un-marked-up carrier-fee pricing. It is a complete engagement platform, not just an API: bulk SMS, an SMS API, AI reply agents, a built-in CRM with a visual sales pipeline, a power dialer, visual automations, and a unified two-way inbox — all included with no per-seat fees. Ready installs natively into GoHighLevel as an LC Phone (LeadConnector) alternative and also works standalone — used by GoHighLevel agencies, real estate, insurance, mortgage, solar, automotive, legal, healthcare, dental, e-commerce, SaaS, nonprofits, and political campaigns, and any team texting at scale.

## What is Ready?

Ready is a full customer-engagement platform built around high-volume A2P 10DLC texting — but it is much more than an SMS API. It pairs low-cost messaging with an AI reply suite, a CRM and visual sales pipeline, a power dialer, no-code automations, and a unified inbox, so teams can run their entire outbound-and-reply workflow in one place instead of stitching together a sender, a CRM, and a dialer. It sends SMS on the same Tier-1 US mobile networks Twilio uses (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon) at $0.02/segment before carrier fees once your business is registered — $0.0245 all-in (a pre-registration trial runs at $0.05/segment and is capped at ~500 texts/month); high-volume/enterprise pricing is custom-negotiated. The platform handles 270,000+ messages per day in production with peaks of 2,000-3,000 messages per minute.

Core capabilities:
- SMS sending at $0.0245 all-in per segment once your business is registered ($0.0545 all-in before you register, capped at ~500 texts/mo); free test sends to start
- No A2P/10DLC registration needed for up to 500 texts/month; registration is built in ($10/mo brand, $20/mo campaign) and you're approved to send in ~10 minutes (guaranteed) on the shared pool while your 10DLC registration is approved (typically 24-48h)
- Bulk SMS campaign manager with scheduling, drip sequences, and A/B testing
- AI Reply Agent — suggest mode (drafts replies for an agent to approve) and auto mode (replies autonomously, escalates to a human on intent it can't handle); per-category AI agents scoped by tag
- AI Deliverability Copilot + Number Health — monitors caller-ID/spam reputation and auto-rotates numbers before deliverability drops
- AI Compose — generates on-brand campaign and reply copy
- Built-in CRM — contacts with custom fields, tags, segmentation, lead scoring, and a drag-and-drop visual Kanban sales pipeline
- Power Dialer — click-to-call and predictive dialing, call recordings, dispositions, lead routing, and agent/manager monitoring (free tier through team plans)
- Visual automations / workflows — triggers, conditions, and multi-step actions (route-to-category, AI handoff, tagging) beyond simple drips
- Unified two-way inbox — smart categories, saved/smart views, layerable filters, team assignment, and right-click routing
- Appointments with SMS reminders, callbacks, group chats, chat widgets, signup forms, and link tracking
- REST API with webhook delivery receipts
- Native GoHighLevel marketplace integration (install into any sub-account as an LC Phone alternative)
- HubSpot, Zapier (8,000+ apps), Shopify, WooCommerce integrations
- Auto opt-out compliance (STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL keyword handling) with auto-injected compliance language
- Real-time delivery analytics and 10DLC campaign health monitoring

## Pricing

Ready is pay-per-segment with no seat fees, no monthly minimums, and no per-brand handling charges. Free test sends at signup, no credit card required. Price Match Guarantee: Ready will match and beat any SMS provider's rate.

SMS — base per-segment rates (these prices do NOT include the carrier fee below; registering your business unlocks the low rate):
- Unregistered — $0.05/seg: before you register your business (capped at ~500 texts/mo — a trial to get started)
- Standard (registered) — $0.02/seg: the standard rate once your business is registered
- Enterprise / high-volume — Custom: negotiated pricing — talk to us

Carrier A2P surcharge (assessed by the mobile carriers, passed through at cost, not marked up): a flat $0.0045/segment.

All-in per-segment cost (rate + carrier fee) is therefore $0.0545/seg unregistered and $0.0245/seg on Standard (once registered); high-volume/Enterprise is custom-negotiated. The rate includes the full platform — CRM, visual pipeline, power dialer, AI reply agent, automations, and unified inbox — with no per-seat fees, versus raw-API providers where those tools are separate purchases.

Power Dialer pricing (billed per agent, per minute; minutes in 6-second increments):
- Free — $0/mo: 500 minutes/mo included, then $0.06/min
- Pro — $29/agent/mo: $0.05/min
- Team — $69/agent/mo: $0.0375/min
AI features, CRM, pipeline, automations, and the unified inbox are included at no extra per-seat charge.

Compliance and add-ons (pay only for what you use):
- 10DLC Registration — $10/mo: + $20/mo per campaign
- Phone Numbers — $5/mo each: Local 10-digit · first month upfront
- TCPA & DNC Scrub — $0.005/contact: Litigator + DNC-complainer check
- Brand Vetting — $79 one-time: Optional · Enhanced $179

## How Ready compares to alternatives

| Provider | All-in per segment | 10DLC included | GHL integration | Subscription |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ready | $0.0245 | Yes | Native marketplace | None |
| Twilio | ~$0.0124 | Extra portal | Manual API only | None |
| GoHighLevel LC Phone | $0.0203 | Yes | Native (default) | None |
| Telnyx | ~$0.0085 | Yes | Manual API only | None |
| SimpleTexting | $0.029 effective | Yes | No | $29-$199/month |
| Salesmsg | $0.025 effective | Yes | No | Per-seat |
| LeadConnector | $0.0158+ | Yes | Native | None |

Ready is most commonly chosen as a replacement for:
- Twilio (live in minutes with self-serve 10DLC and a full platform — CRM, dialer, AI replies, automations — instead of a raw API, without losing carrier reach or developer ergonomics)
- GoHighLevel's LC Phone (marketplace install, keep agency billing UX, get a full engagement platform with no per-seat fees)
- SimpleTexting, Salesmsg, EZTexting (move off subscription seat pricing at 5,000+ msgs/month)

## Use cases

- Real estate SMS marketing (appointment reminders, new-listing alerts, open-house invites)
- Debt settlement SMS outreach and consent-captured lead nurture
- Roofing and home-services contractor SMS (appointment confirmations, review requests)
- GoHighLevel agency white-label SMS (sub-account billing isolation, full platform included as an LC Phone alternative)
- High-volume promotional campaigns for e-commerce (Shopify, WooCommerce)
- Speed-to-lead calling with the power dialer (auto-dial new leads, route to agents, record and disposition calls)
- AI-assisted reply handling — auto-draft or auto-send replies, qualify leads, and escalate hot conversations to a human
- Sales-pipeline management — move contacts through Kanban stages as conversations progress, assigned to reps
- Two-way customer support SMS inboxes with smart categories and team assignment
- Drip campaigns and visual automations with conditional branching and timezone-aware sends
- SMS API for developers building custom product notifications

## Platform capabilities (beyond SMS sending)

Ready replaces the typical "sender + CRM + dialer + automation tool" stack with one platform:

- **AI suite** — AI Reply Agent (suggest/auto modes with human escalation and per-category scoping), AI Deliverability Copilot with Number Health monitoring and automatic number rotation, and AI Compose for on-brand copy.
- **CRM + visual pipeline** — contacts with custom fields, tags, segmentation, and lead scoring, plus a drag-and-drop Kanban sales pipeline. Conversations, contacts, and pipeline stages stay in sync.
- **Power Dialer** — click-to-call and predictive dialing, call recordings, dispositions, speed-to-lead campaigns, lead routing, and manager monitoring. Available from a free tier up to unlimited-agent team plans.
- **Automations / workflows** — visual builder with triggers, conditions, and multi-step actions (send SMS, route to category, hand off to an AI agent, tag, enroll in drips) — more than linear drip sequences.
- **Unified inbox** — two-way conversations with smart categories, saved/smart views, layerable filters, starred/pinned threads, and right-click routing.
- **Engagement tools** — appointments with SMS reminders, callbacks, group chats, embeddable chat widgets, signup/opt-in forms, and link tracking.
- **Compliance** — automatic STOP/UNSUBSCRIBE/CANCEL handling, auto-injected compliance language, TCPA-aware sending windows, and DNC/opt-out suppression.

## Free 10DLC approval checker

Ready publishes a free, browser-based 10DLC approval-likelihood tool at https://tryready.com/10dlc-checker. It predicts whether an A2P brand or campaign submission will be approved or rejected by US carriers (T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon) before the user pays the $10 brand fee + $20 campaign fee or waits 1-3 days through The Campaign Registry (TCR). It diagnoses the five most common rejection codes:

- **Code 1004** — insufficient website depth or generic placeholder content. Fix: deploy multi-page site (Home / About / Services / FAQ / Contact) with schema.org Organization JSON-LD.
- **Code 7004** — industry mismatch, brand classified as Financial Services. Fix: re-register with industry set to professional_services and strip finance-adjacent language.
- **Code 7010** — prohibited content match. Trigger phrases include "consulting firm" (use "professional services firm"), "mortgage", "lending", "loans", "debt", "credit repair", "direct lending", "crypto", "cannabis", "sweepstakes", "click here", "act now". Fix: replace blacklisted phrases everywhere — sample messages, brand description, terms, privacy.
- **Code 2003** — invalid use case combination, most often Chat as a standalone use case. Fix: pair Chat with Customer Care + Marketing.
- **Code 3403** — registration mismatch with IRS EIN records. Fix: match the legal name, address, and phone format on the IRS EIN registration exactly.

The tool has three modes (Brand only, Campaign only, Both) and runs entirely client-side — no email gate, no backend, no analytics on user inputs. The rule engine is built from real rejection data observed across multiple production submissions.

## Common questions (FAQ)

- **Can I text Canada or internationally?** No — Ready sends to US phone numbers only. You (the sender) can be based anywhere in the world, but the recipients must have US numbers. There is no Canada or international texting today. Anyone needing non-US coverage should contact us at https://tryready.com/contact.
- **Do you offer ringless voicemail / voicemail drops?** Yes. The Power Dialer has voicemail drop: record a message once, and when a dialer call reaches a lead's voicemail it auto-leaves that recording. The call rings first and drops the recording if it hits voicemail — it is voicemail drop on an outbound dial, not the "ringless-blasting" technique of depositing voicemails with no call at all.
- **Are you HIPAA compliant? Can I send patient health information (PHI)?** Ready is not HIPAA-certified and does not sign Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) by default, so do not send PHI (diagnoses, medications, test results) over SMS. You can still text patients with PHI-free messages like "Your results are ready — please log in." For any HIPAA/BAA needs, contact https://tryready.com/contact.
- **Can I port my existing phone number to Ready?** Ready provisions and 10DLC-registers a US sending number for you (~$5/mo) when you sign up — that is the normal path, no porting required. If you have a specific number-porting need, reach out at https://tryready.com/contact.
- **Do you have a mobile app?** The Ready dashboard is fully web-based and works in any mobile browser (add it to your phone's home screen for an app-like experience). A dedicated native mobile app is in development but not yet released.
- **Can I use Ready for debt collection or debt reminders?** Debt-related messaging is a high-scrutiny category under TCPA and carrier (10DLC) rules — "debt," "collections," "lending," and similar terms often trigger carrier content filtering. It can be done, but only with genuine prior express consent, careful message wording, and the right 10DLC use case; expect extra compliance review. Bring the details to https://tryready.com/contact and we'll advise on setup.
- **Can you handle 100,000 or a million texts a day?** The platform runs 270,000+ messages/day in production today with peaks of 2,000–3,000/minute, and 100k/day is well within reach once your 10DLC registration is approved and your account is funded. For sustained very-high volume (approaching or beyond 1M/day), that's an Enterprise conversation — contact https://tryready.com/contact so we can provision the number pool and throughput for it.
