Frequently Asked Questions
Do my credits expire?
No! Your credits never expire. Buy them today, use them next year if you want. They're yours until you use them.
Are there any monthly fees?
Absolutely not. You only pay for the SMS credits you purchase. No subscriptions, no monthly minimums, no hidden fees. The only other fees are if you want to rent a virtual number, but that's optional. Also, MMS is an extra cost, but again, that's an option.
Do I need to sign a contract?
Nope. Come and go as you please.
What if I need help on a weekend?
We're here 7 days a week, including public holidays. You'll speak directly with our manager, not a call centre.
How quickly can I start sending?
We'll setup your account, pop your free credits in after a quick verification to make sure it's you, and you're ready to give SMS Express a whirl in usually 10 minutes during business hours.
