Where Mobile Message stands
Mobile Message publishes Australian dollar standard rates at all four benchmark volumes, 3.5c at 1,000 down to 2.5c at 125,000, plus a 1.6c first-purchase rate for 30 days from signup. Clickatell publishes lower figures but prices in US dollars, so the two ladders are not directly comparable. Its uptime commitment names a figure and a remedy, 99.9% gateway availability a month with a $52.50 account credit. It sends by API, email-to-SMS and two-way messaging, supports dedicated numbers and alphanumeric sender IDs, and offers no MMS or RCS. It launched in 2024, holds 273 ProductReview.com.au reviews at 4.9, and does not publish a street address.
ACMA lists it as MOBILE MESSAGE PTY LTD. ACMA's list read 19 September 2026.
