Securely and reliably communicate with New Zealand mobiles using a Dedicated Short Code.
A Dedicated NZ Short Code is essential if:
- You are sending large volumes of messages to NZ Mobiles
- The mobile needs to be able to send you a text at any time
- You want to enhance your business trust and branding with a fixed number
- You are sending marketing or promotional texts to NZ Mobiles
- You want to absorb costs and allow mobiles to text you for free
Cost Options for Dedicated Short Codes:
Texts cost the sender 20c and 0c for you to receive
The sender pays the cost to send you a text. This is charged at 20c (inc GST), regardless of any text plan they have.
Your cost each month is flat rate for receiving. You only pay for the texts that you send outbound.
Texts are free for the sender but cost you 12c to receive
It is free for a mobile phone to send you a text. You absorb the cost of receiving the text message at 12c (exl GST) per SMS.
You can also send texts outbound to mobile phones.
Careful consideration is needed as there are no controls for blocking texts into your short code; you are liable for payment of all texts received.
