How BulkSMS.com prices
BulkSMS.com publishes no per-message rate that maps onto a monthly sending volume, so this page prints none.
BulkSMS.com publishes its Australia prices in euros excluding VAT. The pricing page shows a cost per SMS of 3.24c and €162.00 for 5,000 credits with Australia set as the home country, and the ten-bundle table it loads runs from 3.9c at 200 credits to 3.0c at 50,000 credits. The coverage data prices all three route grades, Economy, Standard and Premium, at one credit per SMS on every listed Australian network. The figures are in euros rather than Australian dollars, and no AUD rate is carried on this record. An Australian incoming long number is priced at EUR 35 a month on a 6-month term or EUR 30 a month on a 12-month term, with no setup fee and the full period paid upfront.
Real Australian routes, no Australian office
BulkSMS.com is operated by Celerity Systems (Pty) Ltd, whose South African company registration number, 2000/005883/07, indicates registration in 2000. The group also carries UK and Swiss entities, Celerity Messaging UK Ltd and Celerity Europe AG, and its main office is in Cape Town. Its Australia page names seven local networks its routes connect to, including Telstra, Optus and Vodafone, a real and specific claim rather than a generic one, but no Australian entity, office or local support channel appears anywhere on the site.
Pricing is credit based, with the exact cost depending on the origin country, destination country and volume entered into its own calculator. No baseline per-message price for sending to Australian numbers is published, so no rate is carried in the tables above. A support request for an Australian sender goes to a general address rather than a local team.
