But when thousands of them are handled manually, the number of outbound messages adds up quickly.&nbsp;<br><br><strong>\u2139\ufe0f&nbsp;<\/strong>And starting October 1, 2026, there\u2019s another factor to consider: Meta\u2019s new WhatsApp Business pricing model will turn outbound messaging volume into a direct operating cost.&nbsp;<br><br>\u26a0\ufe0f <strong>What does Meta\u2019s new pricing mean for your ISP?&nbsp;<\/strong><br><br>\ud83d\udc49 Meta is moving to a pricing model based on individual outbound messages. Each business account will have 1,000 free outbound messages per month. Incoming customer messages remain free.&nbsp;But once you reach that limit, every additional message sent by either a bot or a human agent will be charged individually.&nbsp;<br><br>\ud83d\udc49 That means inefficient customer service can become expensive.&nbsp;If an agent sends several separate messages to complete a simple request \u2014 for example, sending a bill, providing an account balance, or explaining how to make a payment \u2014 those messages quickly consume the free allowance.&nbsp;<br><br>Once message 1,001 is reached, every additional outbound message becomes a cost.&nbsp;<br><br><strong>\ud83d\udd14&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>How can you protect your ISP\u2019s margins with Suricata IA?<\/strong>&nbsp;<br><br>The answer isn\u2019t to stop using WhatsApp. It\u2019s to make every outbound message count.&nbsp;<br><br><strong>Meerkat&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>AI<\/strong> helps ISPs optimize customer interactions by automating high-volume requests and reducing unnecessary messaging.&nbsp;<br><br>\u2705 One request.
