The short answer: business SMS lets you send notices, reminders and campaigns to your customers, to one number or thousands at once, from the SMS page in My MozOut. It sends to mobile phones in Mozambique and Angola, and the message reaches any phone, even without internet or apps. There are no bundles: you buy the credits you need, from 1,000, and each SMS part uses 1 credit.
What it is good for
An SMS is short and is read straight from the phone screen, without opening anything. That makes it a good fit for things the customer needs to know now: the order has arrived, there is an appointment tomorrow, there is a meeting on Friday. A few examples:
| Type of message |
Example |
| Service notice |
Hi Ana, your order has arrived. You can collect it until Saturday, 8am to 5pm. |
| Reminder |
Hi Carlos, a reminder that your appointment is tomorrow at 9:30. To reschedule, please call the clinic. |
| Notice to a group |
Dear parent, the parents' meeting is on Friday at 5pm, in room 3. |
| Campaign |
A promotion or news item sent to a list of customers who agreed to receive it. See how to plan a campaign. |
What it costs
You type how many credits you want, from 1,000, and the whole quantity is charged at the price of the tier it falls into: the more you buy at once, the less you pay per SMS. On the current price tiers, an SMS costs from $0.0167 down to $0.0092:

1 credit = 1 SMS part to Mozambique and Angola. A short message in plain letters is usually 1 part; a long one, or one with certain accented letters, can have several, and each uses 1 credit. Before you send, the page shows how many parts the message has and how many credits it will use. The details are in how many credits an SMS uses and SMS credits and price tiers.

The full walkthrough, screen by screen, is in sending your first business SMS.
Whose name the message shows
Every account can send with the free NETMSG sender. If you want people to see your company name instead of NETMSG, you request a Sender ID in My MozOut. The trade-offs are in when NETMSG is enough.
|
Named senders cannot receive replies, neither NETMSG nor a Sender ID. If you want customers to get in touch, put a phone number, an e-mail address or your website in the message itself.

Have a website or a business system? You can send SMS automatically through our API, with the same account and the same credit balance.
