When to choose Free-to-Text

Free-to-text shifts the cost of replying away from the person texting you and onto the business. It's the right fit any time you can't assume recipients will have credit, or simply shouldn't have to pay to respond to you.

Example: staff in the field

A retail SMS reply typically costs the sender around 20c. Staff out on site — tradespeople, drivers, field technicians, on-call crews — may not have credit on a personal phone, or shouldn't be expected to pay to respond to a work message. With a free-to-text shortcode, the business absorbs the reply cost at 10c per received message — roughly half the retail rate — and messages always get through.

Also a strong fit for:

  • Competitions and vote-to-enter campaigns
  • Customer service and appointment confirmations
  • Community groups, clubs and volunteers
  • Emergency alerts and two-way safety checks
