All messages are charged at the rate applicable to the
total monthly message volume. So, for example, if you were
to send 1,250 messages in one month, ALL messages would
be charged at 7.5p, plus VAT.
All message pricing, both on-account and pre-pay, includes
the Interconnect Fee (approximately 3.0p), payable to the
receiving network operator (Vodafone, O2 etc.) for delivering
your message.
This is now applicable for all UK operators and many other
European operators too. This fee ensures that our messages
are treated as First Class messages and are delivered as
swiftly as they possibly can be.
Please do contact us if you have a particular commercial
or budgetary requirement, and we will do our utmost to
meet your needs.
