*The above listing of SKUs is non-exhaustive. The monthly allowance and overages apply to any non-CCaaS licenses where SMS is included in the subscription (e.g.,the UCaaS license for mixed licenses). Prices and applicable SKUs will be updated from time to time. SMS/MMS capability is made available in some (e.g., US/Canada) but not all geographic regions. When available, new geographic regions and applicable pricing will be added to this page. Additional SKUs may include SMS/MMS capability; however, such SKUs will not contribute to the monthly aggregate SMS and MMS message pool, and per message usage charges will apply.
Per Message Rates: See below for specific messaging usage structures and rates that apply to the phone number(s) in your region.
Per Message Rates for Australia (Australian phone numbers only): In Australia (Australian phone number only), the per message rates are as follows:
Type | Australian SMS Usage Charge (AUD) | |
|---|---|---|
Inbound | SMS | $0.000 |
Outbound | SMS | $0.050 |
In US and Canada: In the US and Canada, a monthly aggregated allowance of SMS and MMS applies before any per message usage charges will apply.
Monthly Allowance: When SMS/MMS messaging is included and available in your geographic region, you will receive a monthly aggregate SMS and MMS message pool equal to the number of applicable licenses times 50 (reflecting a total allowance of 50 outbound messages per license). Messages are measured in message segments as defined at the carrier-level (see 8x8 Support for further details). Each message segment a User sends to one recipient counts as one pooled message. For example, if a User sends an SMS message totaling 400 characters (or 2 SMS message segments) to another User, that will count as 2 pooled messages being sent. Unused messages will not roll over month-to-month. SMS and MMS messaging must utilize HTTPS protocol, and all use must comply with any rules and restrictions imposed, directly or indirectly, by carriers including campaign registration (where applicable). Unregistered SMS/MMS traffic is not supported.
Any messages exceeding the pooled monthly allowance amount will be charged at the per-message rates set forth below:
US SMS/MMS usage (USD) | Canada SMS/MMS usage (CAD) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Inbound | SMS | $0.000 | $0.000 |
MMS | $0.000 | $0.000 | |
