Section two

Calls and SMS, priced by the second

Everything to do with phone numbers, calling and texting sits here: the per-minute and per-segment rates, what a number costs each month, and how to keep your texts cheap.

1

You need to purchase a dedicated phone number through Tekmatix to send and receive calls and texts. Monthly number charges apply and are listed further down this section.

2

You can send SMS internationally. For American and Canadian numbers you will need to apply for A2P and verify your number. There is a one-time fee for all A2P applications: $24.50 for Sole Proprietors and Low Volume, $71.90 for High Volume.

3

Charges vary per country. The tables below are examples covering five common countries, not a full rate card.

All prices are in USD and are indicative. The "USD $5.00 buys approx." column is a rounded guide, not a billed allowance. Rates are set by the carriers and can change.

MMS rates

MMS lets you send images, GIFs and other media in a text. It is billed per segment, the same way SMS is, and is currently available for the United States, Canada and Australia.

MMS per-segment rates by country
Country Service Direction Cost (USD) USD $5.00 buys approx.

MMS is only available in the United States, Canada and Australia. Sending media to any other country will go as an SMS with a link. Australian MMS is materially more expensive than SMS, so use it deliberately.

How to structure your SMS so it costs less

The way you write your texts has a big bearing on the cost. Texts are billed per segment, not per message, so a single long text can quietly cost you four times what you expected. Where possible, stay inside one segment.

Plain text (GSM-7 encoding)

  • 160 characters in a single segment
  • 153 characters per segment once the message splits across two or more
  • Standard letters, numbers and basic punctuation

With an emoji (UCS-2 encoding)

  • Drops to 70 characters in a single segment
  • 67 characters per segment once it splits
  • One emoji re-encodes the whole message, not just that character

We all love an emoji, but a single one changes the encoding of the entire text and multiplies your cost. Here is the same message, sent twice.

2 segments
Need a website that actually sells? The Tekmatix Special Service Website build is open now. Done for you, on brand, and built to convert. Limited spots this month: tekmatix.com/special-service-website

200 characters, GSM-7. Billed as 2 segments.

4 segments
Need a website that actually sells 🔥 The Tekmatix Special Service Website build is open now. Done for you, on brand, and built to convert 🔥 Limited spots this month: tekmatix.com/special-service-website

The same message with two emojis. Now UCS-2, billed as 4 segments. Double the cost for two characters.

Segment counts are set by the carriers and are the same worldwide. Links, line breaks and special characters such as curly quotes also add to the count, so paste your draft into a segment counter before you send to a large list.

Section three

Emails

Email is the cheapest channel on the platform by a wide margin. Every USD $5.00 you top up sends 5,000 emails.

Email sending $0.001per email

USD $5.00 sends 5,000 emails.

Email verification $0.0037per email address

Charged once per address verified, not per send.

Weekly newsletter is 4. Twice a week is 8.
