Frequently asked questions
Are these Meta’s prices?
No, these are Shortext prices. They include the official rate Meta charges for your customer’s country, and the Shortext service.
Which country counts, mine or my customer’s?
Your customer’s phone number sets the price, not your company’s country.
How can I pay less?
Keep marketing for the right segments, use utility messages for order updates, and tell us about your volumes: above a certain level, rates are negotiable.
