Twilio's baseline send rate is 10 messages per second. You need to contact their sales team if you want a custom send rate for your use case.
Figuring out what to get from Twilio is like selecting for your mobile plan from a Telco. It depends on your needs. The main considerations are:
Volume
Frequency
For example, if you are sending a campaign once daily and <1000 SMS at a time, then you don't need to buy multiple phone numbers or increase the baseline send rate of 10 messages per second. The default option is good enough for your use case. However, you are sending a campaign four times a day and at the volume of 50k SMS at a time then you might want to consider sending it at a higher rate. You need to contact Twilio sales to find out the cost of setting a higher send rate for your agency.
Prerequisite: Your own prepaid phone card that has Telegram installed on it.
