sending SMS with Twilio

I"m trying to figure this out, sorry if it's too basic of a question.

I have iPhone app with several hundred users. While they're interacting with my app, I need the ability to send them several SMS messages (max 10). Say 300 users, using the app once a week, with 10 SMS per use:

300*4*10 * .0075 = $90

There is also a $1 per month phone fee. Is that per phone of my users, or the single Twilio number that I am sending texts from?

I'm hoping it's not per user number, which would make my monthly $390.

I've reached out to Twilio, but still waiting a response.

Twilio developer evangelist here.

That charge for the phone number is per number you buy within the Twilio dashboard, it is not per number you are sending to.

So in your calculation, you are spending $91 per month sending SMS, not $390.
