 16ixty Costing Structure
 

16ixty pays you all revenue generated by your SMS service. Revenue share from the operator/carrier is dependent on the operator's model. We only charge you a small switching fee for each inbound message you receive. This is passed on to the gateway supplier and no mark-up is added to the cost.

In addition, a once-off setup fee and a fixed monthly rental fee are also charged.

   
 Once-Off Setup Cost:

Setup Cost – $6 990 Once-Off *

   
 

This includes:

  • All costs needed to setup your SMS service.
  • Ordering and ensuring that your number is obtained from and registered with networks.
  • Setup of your own web-based interface where you can view all your incoming messages, view reports on received messages, and manage all aspects of your messaging system.
  • Two hundred SMS credits.
  • Full technical support from us to ensure that the system is functioning faultlessly.
  • Testing and ensuring that it is setup to your requirements and ready to use.
 Monthly Rental:
   
 
  • Selected Shortcode – $1 450 Per Month *
  • Random Shortcode – $950 Per Month *
 

This includes:

  • All costs needed to run your SMS service on a monthly basis.
  • Hosting.
