Frequently asked questions

We are partnered with over 85 integrations so that you can send SMS from a tool you are already comfortable using. Some of our popular SMS integrations are HubSpot, Shopify, Salesforce, and Netsuite. Explore our integrations marketplace.

We have different Sender ID options to suit your needs. We’ll let you use our rotary shortcode at no extra charge, which allows you to send and receive text messages. You can also lease your own dedicated short code (normally 4 digits long) to help customers recognise you. Learn how to choose the best option for your business.

Note that if you are sending marketing messages, or very high volumes, you will need to apply for a dedicated short code. A shared rotary number is not allowed.

A standard SMS credit is 160 characters, including spaces. An emoji counts as two characters. If your message contains Unicode or emoji, the character limit drops from 160 down to 70 characters. For more on this, check out our infographic.

When you sign up for a free trial, you’ll be able to log in to our online messaging hub to explore the inbox, features, automations, templates and more. You’ll also get 25 SMS credits to try sending and receiving text messages yourself.

We offer a range of pricing plans, including Basics, Conversations, and Pro. If you need to send high volumes, ask us about advanced or custom plans. Our SMS experts will help you find the best option for your business.
