You only pay for the messages you send, with credits that are simple to top up. This transparent, pay-as-you-go model provides complete cost control and predictability, making high-volume business texting genuinely accessible for businesses of any size.

Effortless Web Interface & Bulk Sending

Powerful API & AI Agent (MCP) Integration

Automate and integrate SMS seamlessly into your existing software stack and workflows. Texto's developer-friendly API allows you to trigger messages from your CRM, booking system, or custom applications. Pioneering the future, its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables your AI agents and assistants (like those using OpenClaw) to send compliant messages directly, unlocking next-level automation and intelligent communication.

Dedicated Australian Number & Two-Way Inbox

Build trust and enable real conversations by securing your own Australian mobile sending number for a low monthly fee. This dedicated number fosters brand recognition and allows you to receive replies directly into your Texto inbox. Engage in two-way SMS dialogues with customers for confirmations, support, and feedback, turning simple notifications into interactive communication channels.

Automated Appointment Reminders

Drastically reduce no-shows and admin workload. Automatically send personalized SMS reminders to clients for upcoming appointments, consultations, or deliveries. Include details like time, date, and location, and embed a simple reply action (e.g., "Reply YES to confirm") to capture confirmations instantly and keep your schedule accurate.

Time-Sensitive Marketing Campaigns

Launch agile, high-impact marketing blasts directly to your customer's pocket. Promote flash sales, new product launches, or exclusive offers with a 98% open rate. Use Texto's bulk sending and personalization to create urgency and drive immediate traffic to your website or storefront, tracking engagement through direct replies.

Critical Operational Notifications

Keep customers informed and operations smooth with reliable, instant notifications. Alert patients about prescription availability, notify parents of school closures, update tenants on maintenance schedules, or send security alerts. Texto's reliability ensures your most important messages are delivered and read when it matters most.

Customer Support & Feedback Loops

Facilitate quick, convenient support by allowing customers to reply to your dedicated Texto number. Use it for simple query resolution, post-service feedback collection, or satisfaction surveys. This direct line bypasses email clutter and phone hold times, leading to faster resolution and improved customer experience.

How does billing work?

Texto uses a straightforward credit system. You purchase SMS credits in advance, with each credit worth one SMS message sent. You are charged a flat 3c per credit used. There are no monthly fees or minimum spends on the standard plan. Credits expire after 12 months of inactivity. You only ever pay for the messages you actually send.

Do I need a dedicated number?

No, you can start sending immediately using your own verified mobile number. A dedicated Australian number is an optional upgrade ($15/month) that provides a consistent sender ID for brand trust and enables you to receive and manage customer replies in a dedicated two-way inbox, which is essential for conversational messaging.

Can I use the API?

Absolutely. Texto offers a full-featured, developer-friendly REST API included with all accounts at no extra cost. It allows you to programmatically send SMS, check balances, and manage your account, enabling deep integration with your own software, websites, and automated business systems.

Is Texto compliant with Australian spam laws?

Yes. Texto is built for Australian compliance. It includes mandatory opt-out handling (replying "STOP" automatically unsubscribes a number) and provides tools like the OpenClaw skill for AI agents to help craft compliant messages. It is your responsibility to have recipient consent, and Texto provides the features to help you maintain it.

Texto offers simple, modular pricing with no hidden fees. Every account starts with 5 free SMS credits (no credit card required).

Pay As You Go: The core service costs 3¢ per SMS. There is no monthly commitment, no minimums, and API/MCP access is included. You simply buy credits as needed.

Dedicated Number: For $15 per month, you can add your own Australian mobile number for sending and receiving. This includes a two-way inbox to manage conversations and build brand recognition. This is an optional add-on that can be canceled anytime.
