How to Choose

Six things to check with any vendor, including us.

  1. List your channels first

    SMS only, or email and WhatsApp too. Few platforms do all of them.

  2. Work out cost per message

    Divide the pack price by its credits, and ask whether Nepali text uses more credits.

  3. Check the sender name

    Ask how long a branded sender ID takes to approve.

  4. Ask about WhatsApp carefully

    The official Business API and a QR-linked number behave differently, and linked numbers can be restricted.

  5. Look at delivery reports

    You should see what was delivered, per message.

  6. Check credit expiry

    Find out whether unused credits expire.
