The cost for sending SMS is a fixed charge per SMS page sent (a single send of an SMS may be multiple pages). Details of this will have been discussed when setting this up, and you can ask your account manager to remind you what the charges are.
To send SMS campaigns internationally, you need to make sure the mobile number includes the correct country code and that the 'Address 1 Country' field is populated with a value that corresponds to that code.
For example, if you are sending to a number in the United States (country code +1), a number such as +1(555)123-4567 should be written like this: +15551234567
The 'Address 1 Country' field must match one of the following values:
- Australia
- Austria
- Belgium
- Britain
- Croatia
- Czech Republic
- Denmark
- England
