A: Hey there! 👋

Thanks for your question! Let me break it down for you:

SMS Quota for Different Countries (USA vs. Indonesia):
With Tier 5, you get 23.80€ monthly credit, which you can use to send SMS worldwide. For example, if you're sending to the USA, you can send about 1400 SMS a month. To calculate the number of SMS you can send to Indonesia (or any other country), use the SMS calculator...

Q: Mexican Number?

Hi! I'm new to this SMS ecosystem and your tool seems to be great. I'm from Mexico and my userbase is based in Mexico too. I'd like to know if I can connect/use a mexican number with your platform, also, what would be the process for it?

A: Hola Sumo-ling! 👋

Thanks for your question and for checking out Instasent! We’re thrilled to see your interest from Mexico.

Currently in Mexico, SMS delivery through our platform uses shortcode Sender IDs instead of local numbers. This ensures efficient and reliable delivery of your messages. However, if you're looking to use a local Mexican number for receiving messages (2-way SMS), let us...

Q: Options for UK users / Zapier usage / Lead form

Hi Oscar,

A few quesions if you could help:

1)UK Number
I'm based in the UK and I notice your plans have toll free users for US/Canada only.
a)Can I get a UK mobile number and use it for this deal? If so could you explain how this would be possible and the onetime/reoccuring costs involved?
b)Alternatively I presume I can use a US toll free number and send messages to any country (including the UK)?

2)Zapier
a)Is your Zapier intergration currenlty invite only?
b)What functions are available? The critical one for me is 'send a message to all numbers in a lInstasent list'

3)Lead form
a)Do you have a simple form we can use and embed on a website to users can 'sign up' for sms alerts?
b)Ideally I'd like to produce a seperate form for each list I create.

Many thanks,

Matt

A: Hi there! 👋

Thanks for your detailed questions—let me break everything down for you! 😊

1. UK Number
In the UK, there’s no requirement for a Toll-Free Number (TFN) like in the US/Canada. Instead, you can fully customize your Sender ID! 🎉 This means you can use a name like “My Company” or even a phone number as the Sender ID for your messages. If this works for you, we can guide you through...

Q: SMS Credits question

Are SMS management and sending costs, up to X messages monthly, included in the SMS credits package? Within that quota, you can send that many SMS without needing extra services (e.g., Twilio).
