## What is SMSBlast?

SMSBlast is a pay as you go A2P (application-to-person) SMS messaging platform for businesses. It covers bulk SMS and MMS campaigns, contact management, drip automation, an AI SMS agent, and a built-in dialer, with no contracts and no monthly fees for messaging.

## How much does SMSBlast cost?

SMS costs from $0.015 per message segment, MMS from $0.045 per action, phone numbers are $5.00 per number per month, the dialer is from $0.040 per minute, and the AI agent is $79 per month. Rates vary by message type, destination, and carrier.

## Do I need a contract or monthly subscription to send SMS?

No. SMSBlast is not a subscription service: you top up a prepaid balance and pay per message, with no contracts and no hidden fees. The only recurring charges are $5.00 per phone number per month and the optional $79 per month AI agent.

## What is the SMSBlast AI SMS agent?

The AI agent is a premium feature that replies to every incoming text 24/7, qualifies leads, books calls and appointments directly on your custom calendar, answers customer questions, and escalates important conversations to your team. It costs $79 per month, with no additional cost for usage.

## Does SMSBlast handle A2P compliance and toll-free verification?

Yes. SMSBlast provides toll-free numbers and handles A2P compliance verification for you, with per-number health monitoring. Compliant, registered sending keeps messages out of carrier spam filters.

## Does SMSBlast provide contact lists or consent for me?

No. SMSBlast is a sending platform only, not a lead or contact list provider. You bring your own contacts and are responsible for obtaining proper consent and complying with applicable laws, including TCPA, CAN-SPAM, and A2P 10DLC requirements.

## How many contacts can I upload to SMSBlast?

Unlimited, and uploading is free. There are no caps, no fees, and no limits on how many contacts you import via list, CSV upload, or the REST API.

## Does SMSBlast have an API and integrations?

Yes. SMSBlast offers a REST API and webhooks, plus WordPress and Podio plugins.

## Can I call leads from SMSBlast?

Yes. The built-in dialer lets you call prospects directly from the browser, with voicemail and call history, from $0.040 per minute. There is no monthly subscription or dialer contract required to unlock calling.

## Can my team share an SMSBlast account?

Yes. SMSBlast supports team roles (Owner, Admin, Member) with free seats, and you can switch between multiple organizations from one login.

## Does SMSBlast have an affiliate program?

Yes. SMSBlast has a built-in affiliate program that pays recurring commissions.

## Does my prepaid SMSBlast balance expire?

No. Your prepaid balance never expires. Credit you top up stays available for as long as you have your account.

## Am I charged for failed or undelivered messages?

Yes. Messages are billed once they are submitted to the carrier, whether or not they are ultimately delivered. Keeping your list clean and your A2P registration healthy is the best way to keep delivery rates high.

## Can I get a refund on unused SMSBlast credit?

No. Purchased credit is non-refundable. However, your balance never expires, so unused credit stays available to spend whenever you are ready.

## Does SMSBlast offer volume discounts?

No. SMSBlast uses flat pay as you go rates at any volume: SMS from $0.015 per message segment whether you send 100 messages or 100,000. There are no tiers to negotiate and no minimum commitments.

## How do I get started with SMSBlast?

Create a free account, get a toll-free number and submit A2P compliance so carriers approve your messaging, add your contacts by list, CSV, or REST API, then launch your campaign. You only pay for what you send.
