Where Vision6 stands
Vision6 is a Brisbane headquartered email and SMS marketing platform, now operating as a Constant Contact company after being acquired by the US marketing platform. Its SMS pricing page publishes a credit based rate card in Australian dollars: 9.7c per credit for 1 to 500 credits a month, 9.2c for 501 to 10,000, 8.9c for 10,001 to 50,000, and $0.076 per credit for 50,001 to 100,000, with quote-only pricing above that. Its own site states data is stored on Australian servers and support is based in Australia, both retained despite the US ownership. A dedicated virtual number for two way messaging and reply tracking costs $70 to set up plus $35 a month including GST.
ACMA lists it as Vision6 Pty Ltd. ACMA's list read 19 September 2026.

What Vision6 costs at your volume
Vision6 at 15K tier: 8.90cAt 15,000 messages a month Vision6 costs $1,335, $885 more than Mobile Message, $450 above the field median. Rates are each provider's published price at the 15K tier; above 250,000 most providers negotiate.
Vision6 pricing
Vision6 prices SMS by the credit, with published bands that step down as your monthly volume rises. Its rate card is published in Australian dollars and excludes GST, and it runs from the smallest band up to the top of its highest one. Above that highest band the pricing is quote-only, so no published figure applies at greater volumes.
Buying SMS credits also requires an active subscription plan, which adds a cost the credit rate alone does not show. The free trial covers email features only, and it asks for no credit card or payment details. To purchase SMS credits you must upgrade to a paid plan.
At one thousand messages a month you pay 9.20c, which makes a monthly bill of $92. At fifteen thousand messages the rate drops to 8.90c, for a bill of $1,335. A dedicated virtual number for two-way messaging and reply tracking costs $70 one-time setup fee plus $35 a month including GST for a dedicated virtual number as published.
The price tells you what a credit costs, and the features tell you what a credit can do.
Vision6 features for Australian senders
Vision6 publishes an API, two-way SMS, a dedicated number, a shared number and an alphanumeric sender ID. Its documentation describes a REST style API that authenticates with a Bearer API key in the authorization header, created inside the platform. The API caps requests per minute and per hour for each account, and it returns an error response when you reach the cap. Delivery receipts are pushed to your URL, and replies are pushed to your URL as well.
The default system number is shared amongst all of its clients, and you can buy a dedicated number just for your account. That dedicated number also accepts incoming messages. The alphanumeric option sets the SMS from field to display text, such as your company name.
In the web app you can import contacts from CSV or Excel files.
- Open the import tool. Go to Contacts, then Import Contacts, then Upload a file.
- Choose the destination. Pick your folder and list, and a new list will create fields from the file's column headers.
- Map and finish. Map your fields, finish the import, then create an SMS and use Send to select the list.
Those columns become merge fields, so each message can carry data from the file. Vision6 publishes nothing either way about email to SMS, SMPP or MMS to Australian mobiles, and this comparison makes no claim on those points. The sender options lead straight into the register question, because Australian businesses now register sender IDs with ACMA.
Vision6 sender ID and the ACMA register
ACMA's approved list for the SMS Sender ID Register lists Vision6 under its own name, Vision6 Pty Ltd, as a partner of a certified telco. A business registering a sender ID through Vision6 therefore works with a listed partner rather than a provider outside the register scheme. Its alphanumeric sender ID option means your organisation name can display as the from field once registration is in place.
Registration protects your name from spoofing, but it does not fix a campaign that stalls mid-send, and that is where support matters.
Vision6 support and reputation
Vision6 provides Australian based support by phone, live chat and email. Its own site states that data is stored on Australian servers and that support is based in Australia, and both were retained after the United States company Constant Contact acquired it. The company states it holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, though the scope is not stated.
On Trustpilot it scores 2.9 from 2 reviews. That is a very thin base of public feedback, and it says little about typical service for Australian senders. SMS sits bundled alongside its established email marketing platform, so most public commentary concerns the email product.
Those are the facts, and the verdict on fit follows from them.
Who Vision6 suits
Vision6 suits an Australian business that wants a published Australian dollar rate card, local support and Australian data storage, with SMS bundled beside email marketing in one platform. It also suits a sender whose monthly volume sits inside the published bands, where the price is visible before you sign anything.
Look elsewhere for very high volume, because pricing above the highest published band is quote-only. A business that needs MMS, email to SMS or SMPP should also check other providers first, since Vision6 publishes nothing on those methods. The free trial covers email only, so test the SMS side on a paid plan before a long commitment.
