See what a bulk SMS will really cost

One curly apostrophe turns a 1-part SMS into 3. One name with an accent does it for that person only. And a list of 500 numbers is often 460 people. Check before you press Send.

Runs in your browser with the kit's own code. Nothing is uploaded or sent.

1. The message

2. The phone list

3. The personal touch

Fields like {{first_name}} are filled per person. A long or accented name can change one person's message to Unicode or push it into another part.

Then send it properly

The kit does the sending too: Africa's Talking client, STOP and SIMAMA opt-outs, a ledger that never sends the same message twice after a timeout, and delivery reports. See the README.
