FAQ

Questions about messaging?

Why use WhatsApp instead of SMS?

WhatsApp reaches people with data; SMS reaches anyone with a cell phone. 90%+ of LATAM has WhatsApp, but not everyone has an active data plan. We let you use both: send WhatsApp first, fall back to SMS for those without the app.

What are the costs and per-message limits?

SMS costs $0.01–0.05 per message depending on country. WhatsApp costs $0.05–0.10. There are no per-message rate limits; we handle millions per day. Contact our team for bulk pricing.

How do I integrate bulk messaging?

POST to /v1/sms/bulk or /v1/whatsapp/message with a list of recipient numbers and your message. Our API handles retries, delivery confirmation, and fallback between channels.

Can I segment and personalize messages?

Yes. Tag messages with customer data (name, account, language), use template variables, and set send times. Our dashboard shows delivery rates, opens and responses per message.
