An Australian-registered company with its head office in Australia and support based here. How we classify this.
Sending under your own brand name also depends on the ACMA SMS Sender ID Register, separate from this site's own scoring. What the register requires.
What 160.com.au publishes instead of a rate
160.com.au publishes no Australian per-message rate that maps onto a monthly volume, so this page carries no rate table and no cost calculator. Putting a figure here would mean quoting a price 160.com.au does not publish. What it does publish is below.

"Not published" means the provider states nothing either way on its Australian pages. It is not the same as "No", and this page does not turn one into the other.
A Sydney gateway with a local support team
160.com.au is an Australian SMS gateway based in Sydney, offering bulk sending, a marketing platform and a developer API from one account. Its own site states that customer data is held in a Sydney data centre and that support is staffed locally, both claims consistent with a Tier 1, Australian-headquartered classification.
No specific per-message rate was confirmed on the pages read for this review, so no rate row is carried in the tables above. As with Bulk SMS Australia, that reflects what a first pass at its pricing pages found rather than a claim that the provider publishes nothing; a further capture of its pricing pages would be needed to state a rate here with confidence.
