Definition of SMS Plain text content that contains no more than 160 characters counts as one SMS. Where content contains unicode (e.g. emojis), one SMS contains no more than 70 characters. Longer messages will result in more than one SMS being transmitted and will be charged accordingly. For full details about the calculation of number of SMS can be found here.
Definition of MMS An MMS can be a maximum total file size of 600kb which includes a maximum of 190kb for text content and a maximum of 410kb for an image. It is not possible to send an MMS any larger than this through the platform. Where an MMS is sent to multiple End Users, each one is counted separately. Full details about the calculation of number of SMS can be found here.
Definition of social channel ‘conversation’ Messaging on ‘over-the-top’ channels (e.g. Messenger, Instagram Direct, Google Business Messages, WhatsApp) is charged per ‘conversation’. A conversation is a 24-hour session of unlimited two-way messaging with one end user on one social channel. The 24-hour conversation session starts with the first business message sent in reply to an end user message.
International SMS Advertised ‘default’ international SMS rate is for small volumes and irregular sending. For large international SMS volumes and/or regular sending, please contact us for an international rate plan. International rate plans vary based on destination country.
