Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 2 of the 77 other SMS and chat marketing tools we grade
SMSGlobal is an Australian-owned messaging provider selling SMS, MMS, two-way messaging, email to SMS, one-time passwords, virtual numbers, voice and WhatsApp messaging. Accounts are free to open and prepaid with no subscription. The company says customer data is hosted and managed in Australia, and offers an SMS gateway and API.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about SMSGlobal, taken from its own pages and our grades.
The web account is straightforward, and the gateway and API need developer work.

The report card
Best for pay-as-you-go SMS with Australian data hosting
SMSGlobal sells prepaid SMS, WhatsApp and voice with no subscription, and says customer data is hosted in Australia. But the price table loads by script and couldn't be read, the default Australian rate excludes GST, and WhatsApp and voice prices aren't on the SMS page.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No plan price is recorded. Rates are by country and by volume, and the default view is in Australian dollars before GST. |
| Free plan and trial | F | Accounts are free to open and prepaid, but no free credits or trial are listed, so you pay to send. |
| Features | C | Bulk campaigns, two-way and MMS, email to SMS, one-time passwords, virtual numbers and an SMS gateway. WhatsApp and voice are listed as new. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. The web account is straightforward, and the gateway and API need developer work. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with an API and SDK libraries but no integrations list. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who SMSGlobal is for
- Fits if you send reminders and alerts across several regions and want to pay as you go
- Works for Australian firms that want their data kept in Australia
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want a price list you can read, as the rates sit behind a script
- Watch out: the default rate is in Australian dollars and leaves out GST
- Skip it if you need to know what WhatsApp and voice cost, because the SMS page doesn't say
- Tight if you expect a trial, since only an empty prepaid account is free
Good to know
Good for
- Organizations sending reminders and alerts across several regions
- Businesses that want Australian data hosting
- Developers wanting an SMS and WhatsApp API on prepaid billing
Worth knowing
- The pricing page shows rates by country and by single-transaction volume, loaded by script; the tier table could not be read, so no plan prices are recorded.
- The default view shows an Australian-dollar rate that excludes GST; US, UK, Canada and NZ are separate views.
- WhatsApp and voice are listed as new products, and their prices are not on the SMS pricing page.

What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
SMSGlobal's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
Rates are by country and by volume, and the default view is in Australian dollars before GST.
We could not confirm SMSGlobal’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. smsglobal.com has them.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace SMSGlobal you would be making texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 62 of the 77 other SMS and chat marketing tools grade higher.
What you could not
- Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- The WhatsApp Business API, which Meta opens only through approved partners.
- Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. SMSGlobal’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
