The SMS price calculator is a great tool for bulk messaging. It is a tool that allows individuals and businesses to know the cost implications of sending a batch of messages before doing so. Read up on the newly launched SMS price calculator feature here. (Now launched -SMS price calculator).

The SMS price calculator does not just tell you how much you would spend on a batch of messages. It gives a detailed report. The following are elements contained in the price calculator report and what each detail means.

• The total number of phone numbers: This gives you the total figure for the numbers you inputted. That is; how many numbers in total you are texting including DND numbers? This detail ensures that you do not omit numbers or send messages to more people than you intend.

• DND numbers: This tells you how many out of the total phone numbers are DND numbers.

• Total non-DND phone numbers: The figure presented to you here is- the total number of phone numbers minus the number of DND numbers. You can choose to send to only non-DND numbers, or the Fixed sender bind option for DND numbers.

• Total pages: The total number of pages tells you how many pages your SMS took up. A page of SMS contains 160 characters including punctuation marks and spacing. If your message exceeds 160 characters, you automatically have 2 pages or more of text. The total number of pages is not multiplied by the number of phone numbers you are texting. It is simply a figure that tells you how many pages of text each person would get.

• Total cost: The total cost is the best part of everything. This is how you get to know exactly how much you are going to spend on that batch of text messages. Here, you get to see the cost implications for that batch of messages and then see if what you have in your wallet is enough or if you need to fund your wallet before hitting the send button. In situations where you have insufficient funds, it is advisable to hold off sending your message until you have funded your wallet. Why? This prevents messages from being returned with error messages.

The report that comes with the price calculator is no doubt a very useful tool in helping to plan the content of your message and the numbers you would choose to text or not.
