Message parts

{{ content_metadata( data={ "Last updated": "February 5, 2024" } ) }}

During the pilot period, each service has an allowance of 250,000 message parts. Once this allowance is met, the application will stop delivering messages. There's no monthly charge, no setup fee, and no procurement cost. You'll use more parts towards the allowance if you:

Long text messages

If a text message is longer than 160 characters (including spaces and service name), it counts as more than one message part.

{% call mapping_table( caption='Text message pricing', field_headings=['Message length', 'Charge'], field_headings_visible=True, caption_visible=False ) %} {% for message_length, charge in [ ('Up to 160 characters', '1 part'), ('Up to 306 characters', '2 parts'), ('Up to 459 characters', '3 parts'), ('Up to 612 characters', '4 parts'), ('Up to 765 characters', '5 parts'), ('Up to 918 characters', '6 parts'), ] %} {% call row() %} {{ text_field(message_length) }} {{ text_field(charge) }} {% endcall %} {% endfor %} {% endcall %}

Personalization

Personalization can change the length of messages. For example, if you are personalizing with a first name, Fred is significantly shorter than Alexander. When you are evaluating how long a message is, you need to consider variations in message length based on personalization.

Before you send messages, Notify will let you know how many messages you are sending, the number of parts you are using, and the number of parts you’ll have left.

Signs and symbols

The following signs and symbols count as 2 characters each:
[]{}^\|~$

Using them can increase the cost of sending text messages.

Accents and accented characters

Some languages use accented characters.

The following accented characters do not affect the cost of sending text messages: Ä, É, Ö, Ü, à, ä, é, è, ì, ò, ö, ù, ü.

Using other accented characters can increase the cost of sending text messages.
