Choose the Right Solution:
Standard vs Free-To-Text
We offer two types of SMS shortcodes to suit your business needs:
'Standard' for General Use-Cases
Outbound texts: You pay for any messages sent to your audience.
Inbound texts: Free for you to receive. The sender (your audience) covers the cost of their messages.
If you're looking to focus on sending messages with little requirement for receiving inbound messages.
'Free-To-Text' for Marketing & High Response Use-Cases (FTEU)
Outbound texts: You pay for any messages sent to your audience.
Inbound texts: You also pay for the messages you receive. It's free for mobiles.
If you're looking to focus on both sending messages and maximising the likelihood of receiving inbound messages by removing the cost for mobile interaction.
Consideration: Be aware that you will be liable for all received messages, with no controls for blocking incoming texts. Promotional messaging in New Zealand encourages the use of a Free-To-Text (FTEU) short code number.
