How SMS billing works

Outbound SMS

Outbound SMS is charged per message segment at the applicable destination rate. Pricing can vary by country, mobile network, traffic type and route.

SMS-enabled numbers

If you need a virtual number that can receive SMS, the number itself is billed separately according to the country, number type and available inventory.

One balance for voice and SMS

Voice and messaging use the same didlogic account and prepaid balance, so you can manage both services without maintaining a separate messaging account.

What counts as one SMS?

SMS is billed in segments:

  • GSM-7: up to 160 characters per segment
  • Unicode: up to 70 characters per segment, including many non-Latin alphabets and emoji

Longer messages are split into multiple segments, with each segment billed separately at the applicable destination rate.

Examples:

  • 200 GSM-7 characters → multiple segments
  • 100 Unicode characters → multiple segments

The final segment count depends on the message’s length and encoding.

Do I need a phone number to send SMS?

Not necessarily. For standalone outbound A2P SMS, you can use an approved sender ID where supported without purchasing a virtual phone number.

If you need to receive SMS or allow recipients to reply to the same number, you need an SMS-enabled virtual number.

Can I send SMS through an API?

Yes. didlogic provides an API for integrating SMS into your application or platform.

For bulk or high-volume workflows, recipient management and sending logic remain on your side, while your application submits messages through the didlogic SMS API.

Can I send bulk SMS from the didlogic portal?

didlogic is not a campaign-management platform for uploading recipient databases and launching bulk campaigns from a dashboard.

High-volume messaging can instead be built through the SMS API, with recipient lists, scheduling and campaign logic managed by your own application or messaging platform.
