SMS rates by country: price per international prefix

The price of sending bulk SMS depends on the destination country. This is the complete list: the 215 destinations with a rate loaded today —210 countries and territories with their own row, because a few have more than one prefix—, in euros excl. VAT and per 160-character SMS. Spain first and the rest in alphabetical order; the table scrolls. No hidden tiers and no surprises on the invoice.

That table is the whole catalogue, not a selection. There is no longer list anywhere else: these are all the destinations with a rate loaded, calculated with the same rule —the cost of the route plus a bounded margin—, and you also have them in the dashboard and through the API with GET /api/v1/pricing/sms, which is the same figure that is charged. A destination that is not in the table is not expensive, it is not sent: the platform rejects the message with a pricing error instead of making up a price. The country prefix is detected automatically on every send in E.164 format, so each SMS is charged at the correct price without you having to do anything.

Need another country? Write to us and we will add it if we have a route for it: extending coverage is a matter of loading the rate, but we would rather tell you beforehand what is available than afterwards what did not arrive.

If international sending is your thing and you want to see our rate next to that of a cheaper provider for several destinations, the comparison with BulkGate (in Spanish) puts their prices by country next to ours, with source and date.

A standard SMS holds 160 GSM-7 characters (or 70 with Unicode characters). If your text is longer, it is sent as a concatenated SMS in parts of 153/67 characters and each part counts as one SMS. The dashboard and the API always show you the estimated cost before you confirm a bulk SMS campaign, so you know how much it costs to send SMS to your database before you spend a single euro.

WhatsApp Business API: price by conversation category in Spain

Meta classifies every WhatsApp Business API conversation into four categories, and each one has a different cost. Most providers hide these prices behind a sales form; we publish them in euros, VAT not included, so you can work out your real cost from day one.

Our price per WhatsApp Business API message, by conversation category
Category What it is used for Our price per message
Service Replies within the 24-hour customer service window opened by your customer. 0,005 €
Utility Transactional notices: order confirmations, shipping and delivery notifications, appointment reminders. 0,005 €
Authentication OTP and 2FA verification codes for sign-ups, log-ins and sensitive operations. 0,005 €
Marketing Promotions, offers, news and abandoned-cart recovery with templates approved by Meta. 0,005 €

What is included and what is not, in plain words. That is our price per message sent. WhatsApp works with your own line: you connect your WhatsApp Business account (Meta Cloud API) and Meta bills you its conversation fees separately, directly. We do not charge them, we do not add a margin to them and we do not charge you a monthly fee for the line or a set-up cost. To enable it you need a business account verified by Meta and a number of your own: Meta carries out the verification and the process usually takes several days.

No fee for the line

€99/month before the first message

Some Spanish providers charge for their WhatsApp Business plan €99.00/month per line plus €49.00 for set-up (a one-off, non-refundable payment), and Meta's messages come on top. Figures taken from the activation screen of their own dashboard on 2 August 2026.

At SMSverifica the line has no fee: you connect your WhatsApp Business and pay only for the messages you send. With 500 utility messages a month, the difference is €99 in fees versus €17.50 in messages; in the first year, €1,237 in fees and set-up that you do not pay here.

And what has to be said even if it does not sell

  • WhatsApp has requirements that do not depend on us: a business account verified by Meta and a number of your own. Meta approves it and it usually takes days.
  • Meta charges its conversation fees separately. Our price is our platform's; Meta's is billed by Meta.
  • Outside the 24-hour window only templates approved by Meta can be sent, and Meta may recategorise them (and change their rate with it).
  • No lock-in: if you stop sending, you stop paying. There is no fee that keeps running.

When a customer writes to you first, a 24-hour service window opens in which you can reply with free text in the cheapest category. Outside that window you use templates approved by Meta, which you manage from your account. Meta may recategorise a template, and then its category prevails: the platform syncs the catalogue daily and charges with the real category, not the one you declare. You have all the details of the channel on the WhatsApp Business API for business page and integration examples in the API documentation.

Sending Telegram messages to customers: €0.010 per message

The cheapest channel on the platform: almost four times less than an SMS to Spain, with the same dashboard and the same API.

Telegram does not charge for the messages a bot sends to its users, so €0.010 is only our platform price: sending, retries, statuses, signed webhooks, campaigns and history, the same as for SMS and WhatsApp. You connect your own bot in minutes and start sending Telegram notifications to the customers who already use the app.

It is the perfect channel for high-volume notices: order and delivery notifications, internal alerts for your team, capacity notices for an event managed with QRACCESO or clock-in reminders and HR communications with ACCESSTIME. The channel's requirement: the recipient must have started a conversation with your bot (Telegram does not allow writing to someone who has not). And if a contact does not have it, the same send can go out by SMS or WhatsApp.

A real savings example

10,000 order status notices a month:

  • By SMS to Spain: €390/month
  • By WhatsApp utility: €50/month (plus whatever Meta bills you)
  • By Telegram: €100/month

Combine channels: Telegram for those who have your bot and SMS as a backup for the rest.

Certified messaging: the surcharge, stated before you sign up

Certifying a message does not replace the channel price: it is added to it. Here is the surcharge, so that nobody discovers it on the invoice.

Surcharge per certified message (added to the channel price; amounts excl. VAT)
Channel Message price Certification surcharge What it includes
SMS to Spain (+34) 0,039 € 0,25 € A file of chained evidence and a verifiable PDF
WhatsApp €0.005 (all categories) 0,25 € The same file for the WhatsApp message
Telegram 0,010 € 0,25 € The same file for the Telegram message

How it is charged, exactly. A certificate is two amounts in the same transaction: the message according to its channel plus a €0.25 surcharge, which is the same for all three. What changes is the message:

  • SMS to Spain: €0.328 — the text the recipient receives states who is sending, the notice that delivery serves as notification, the link to the content and the expiry date, and that does not fit in a single SMS: it takes two, and the operator bills each one. That is €0.039 × 2 parts + a €0.25 surcharge.
  • WhatsApp: €0.255 — a WhatsApp message is not split, so it is €0.005 + €0.25. It is the cheapest channel for certifying. Meta bills the conversation separately, to your own WhatsApp Business account.
  • Telegram: €0.26 — €0.010 + €0.25.

Both amounts appear itemised in your transaction history, and so does the number of parts of each SMS. And the limits, before the small print: certified messaging is available only to Spain (+34) and is a non-qualified electronic registered delivery service (art. 3.36 of the eIDAS Regulation); what every file does carry is a qualified time stamp from AC Camerfirma, S.A., with the presumption of date and integrity of art. 41.2. What it proves exactly and what it does not, with its references, on the certified messaging page.

Pages, forms and documents: two years included

A page with your logo, your documents and a form, which your recipients open from the message and whose responses arrive with their phone number. Creating and publishing it is included for two years: you pay for the messages that link to it and, if it collects signatures or acceptances with a receipt, for each of them.

Page publishing (amounts excl. VAT, deducted from the prepaid balance)
Item Price
The first two years Included
Annual renewal, from the third year €0.002 per person who opened it in the last year, with a minimum of €5.00 a year
Each signature or acceptance with a receipt (on the tablet, with the QR code or from the page link) €0.10 per signature; the SMS and the certificate are separate, at their own rate

How it is charged. We email you 30 days in advance with the amount calculated from your page's real traffic, and on that day it is deducted from your balance. You can let it expire: you untick renewal and it stops being published, without deleting anything. If there is no balance when it renews, the page stops being shown until you top up, and its responses are kept. A page opened by 300 people renews at the minimum; one opened by 3,000, at €6.00. Lots of traffic? The price per visitor is negotiable: write to us.

Prepaid balance in euros, with no expiry

A pricing model you can understand in one sentence: you top up your balance, you send messages and your money does not disappear over time.

Balance in euros

No virtual currencies with odd conversions: your balance is in euros and the price of each message is deducted with four decimal places of precision. Every send, every top-up and every refund is recorded in a transaction history you can audit.

Our promise

No expiry, ever

Your balance does not expire: there is no process on the platform that makes it expire. On others there is —LabsMobile after 18 months according to its terms, checked on 8 July 2026, and another Spanish platform after 15— and unused money is lost. With SMSverifica, what you top up today is still yours in three years' time.

Automatic refund

If a message fails permanently, the amount goes back to your balance by itself, without opening tickets or making claims. The balance deduction is transactional: you will never pay for a message that was not attempted.

Compare before choosing an SMS platform for your company: the prepaid balance of LabsMobile expires after 18 months according to its published terms, checked on 8 July 2026, and that of another Spanish platform after 15 according to its contract. If you send seasonally (sales, one-off campaigns, events), that expiry is money lost. There is no clock here: the balance does not expire, and it does not because there is no process that makes it expire — no scheduled task, no date on the account record.

Buy cheap SMS: balance top-ups at par, with no small print

Looking for where to buy SMS for your company at the best price? You choose a top-up and what you pay is exactly what is credited: a €500 top-up is €500 of balance (plus any applicable VAT, itemised on the invoice). The price per message is the same whether you top up €20 or €10,000: €0.039 per SMS to Spain from the first message, with no tier to reach.

Balance top-ups (amounts excl. VAT; the balance credited is the same amount)
Top-up Balance credited Equivalent SMS to Spain
20 € 20 € 512 SMS
50 € 50 € 1,282 SMS
100 € 100 € 2,564 SMS
250 € 250 € 6,410 SMS
500 € 500 € 12,820 SMS
1.000 € 1.000 € 25,641 SMS
2.500 € 2.500 € 64,102 SMS
5.000 € 5.000 € 128,205 SMS
10.000 € 10.000 € 256,410 SMS

One single number, no catch: there is no volume discount because there is no inflated price to discount from. An SMS to Spain costs €0.039 from the first send, excl. VAT, and the balance never expires. Secure card payment, a Spanish invoice with VAT itemised (and correct intra-EU VAT treatment if your company is in the EU) and optional auto top-up: set a threshold and your account tops itself up so that no campaign is left half-sent. Do you send high volumes and want a tailored price? Talk to us: negotiated prices are applied to your account message by message, not as a discount on the top-up.

Full transparency versus the competition's “request a quote”

The bulk SMS and WhatsApp Business API market in Spain is full of hidden rates: calculators without real prices, spreadsheets behind a login, WhatsApp prices you only get if you talk to sales. We believe that if you have to ask for the price, you are already losing.

Frequently asked questions about SMS, WhatsApp and Telegram pricing

Everything companies ask us before they start sending.

How much does bulk SMS for business cost?

At SMSverifica an SMS to Spain costs €0.039 (160 GSM-7 characters). The price of bulk SMS depends on the destination country: France €0.08, United Kingdom €0.0534, Germany €0.0926 and USA/Canada €0.0083. No monthly fees and no lock-in: you only pay for the messages you send.

How much does the WhatsApp Business API cost in Spain?

Our price per message, by conversation category: service €0.005, utility €0.005, authentication €0.005 and marketing €0.005. No monthly fee for the line and no set-up cost. Meta bills its conversation fees separately, directly to your WhatsApp Business account: our price does not include them or add a margin to them.

What do I need to enable the WhatsApp Business API?

A business account verified by Meta and a phone number of your own that is not registered in the WhatsApp app. Meta, not us, verifies the company and registers the line, and the process usually takes several days. When your line is ready you connect it to the dashboard with your credentials and start sending: no monthly fee and no set-up cost on our side.

Does the SMSverifica balance expire?

No, never. Your prepaid balance does not expire: there is no process on the platform that makes it expire. On others it does happen —LabsMobile after 18 months according to its terms, checked on 8 July 2026, and another Spanish platform after 15—. What you top up today you can use in three years' time.

Are there monthly fees, a set-up cost or a lock-in period?

No. SMSverifica works on a pure prepaid basis: balance in euros, no monthly fee, no set-up cost, no lock-in and no minimum spend. The dashboard, the REST API, the webhooks and the sandbox are included at no additional cost.

What happens if a message is not delivered?

It depends on where it fails, and we say so plainly: if the send is rejected before it reaches the network (provider failure, no rate for the destination, orphaned queue), the amount goes back to your balance by itself and is recorded in the history. If the operator accepts the message and the failure comes later in the delivery report (phone switched off, number does not exist…), the message is billed anyway: that is how networks bill every provider, and we would rather say so than promise a refund that no operator gives us.

How many characters does an SMS have?

An SMS holds 160 characters with the GSM-7 alphabet or 70 with Unicode characters (special accents, emojis). Concatenated SMS are split into parts of 153 or 67 characters and each part is charged as one SMS.

How do I top up my balance and what invoice do I get?

You buy balance top-ups at par (what you pay is exactly what is credited) and pay securely by card. You receive a Spanish invoice with VAT itemised, issued by ABARCANDO, S.L. You can enable auto top-up so that you never run out of balance.

How much does it cost to send a Telegram message?

€0.010 per message: almost four times less than an SMS to Spain. Telegram does not charge for the messages a bot sends, so that price is only our platform's —the same dashboard, the same API and the same status webhooks as SMS and WhatsApp—. The recipient must have started a conversation with your bot to be able to receive them.

Start sending bulk SMS at the best price, with no expiry

Create your free account: when you verify your email, sandbox mode opens on its own so you can try the API without spending a euro, and you top up only when you are ready. Sign-ups reviewed by hand, a balance that never expires, prices excl. VAT and a Spanish invoice with VAT itemised.
