Two choices – one free,
one chargeable!
The standard TextEmail service that enables you to send text messages
from any email system is a free-to-use service – you just pay for the messages
that you send. If, however, you would like the additional benefits of our
Outlook software there is a small, one-off fee.
Outlook plug-in –a maximum of £25
per user
With our optional software for Outlook, you buy the application once for each
Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express user who requires TextEmail. You don’t pay
any additional monthly or quarterly charges.

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.
