How SMS works on Mersal
SMS is billed per message from your SMS wallet, by destination country. You top up a balance, and each delivered message is deducted at the destination’s rate.
Register a Sender ID
A Sender ID is the name or number recipients see as the sender. In many countries a registered Sender ID is required, and some need business documents.
Sender ID rules and registration fees vary by country — Mersal advises what is needed for your destinations.
