What It Does
The Campaign Preview Simulator takes a message, a use case and a brand trust score and returns a per-carrier preview. For each carrier it estimates delivery time, filtering risk, the display name recipients see and the throughput tier, and it counts characters and SMS segments.
Throughput on 10DLC depends on the registered brand and campaign, not on how many numbers you add. The preview makes that constraint visible before you plan a send.
Who It Is For
- Marketers planning send volume and timing
- Teams checking a new message before adding it to a registered campaign
- Developers estimating segment counts and cost

FAQ
Are the delivery and throughput figures guaranteed?
No. They are estimates for the use case and trust score you enter. Carriers set and change throughput and filtering on their own terms.
Why does trust score change the preview?
Carriers assign throughput tiers from the registered brand and campaign. A higher TCR trust score generally maps to a higher tier.
Does the preview count SMS segments?
Yes. It returns message length and segment count, which drive per-message cost.
How much does a preview cost?
One token per preview. Tokens are bought once and do not expire.
Is there an API endpoint?
Yes. POST /v1/tools/campaign-preview on the MyTCRPlus REST API.
