One rate for Seychelles, $0.0172, from the first message to the millionth. GSM-7 segments, your name as the sender, handset receipts. Funded in crypto, without identity checks.
At $0.0172 per segment, Seychelles sits among the cheaper routes in Africa: 13th of 56 destinations by price, 43% below the regional average. Worldwide, 71 destinations are cheaper and 156 cost more.
Recipients in Seychelles are on Cable & Wireless and Airtel. All of them deliver alphanumeric senders as typed, so your brand name appears on the handset without registration. We keep one route for the destination and swap it when an operator's delivery rate drops, without changing your rate mid-campaign.
Encoding and length
Latin text is sent in GSM-7, 160 characters (153 per part when concatenated) per segment. Add an emoji or a non-Latin character and the whole message switches to Unicode at 70 characters (67 per part when concatenated). The composer shows the count before you send.
Timing and format
Marketing campaigns are held outside 08:00 to 20:00 local time by default. Transactional messages such as codes and receipts bypass the window. Numbers are dialled with +248, for example +248 570 325 201.
