A team in Nouméa
Ten years of New Caledonian sends behind us, and a team you can reach on (+687) 23.04.04.
No two years look alike.
A school messages families most at the start of the school year. A clinic sends as appointments come in. A council stays quiet for weeks, then alerts everyone on the same evening.
One rate card would fit one of them and miss the rest. Your proposal starts from your year, not someone else's.
The school. Messages to families all year round, with a big peak when the school year starts in February and quiet spells during the holidays. The peak falls in February.

The questions we get about pricing.
Why are there no prices on the site?
Because a school, a clinic and a council don't send the same messages, or at the same pace. Rather than a rate card that fits no one, an adviser in Nouméa puts together a written proposal based on how you actually send.
How is the number of SMS in a message counted?
A message of up to 160 characters goes out as 1 SMS. Beyond that, it is split into parts of 153 characters. The total is then counted per recipient: a 1-SMS message sent to 300 people counts as 300 SMS.
Does a long message count as several SMS?
Yes. A message of 161 to 306 characters goes out as 2 SMS, 307 to 459 characters as 3 SMS, and so on up to 6 SMS (918 characters). Before you send, the screen shows how many SMS your message makes for each contact, and how many characters to cut to save one.
Are SMS to other countries included in the proposal?
Yes: mention them in your request and the proposal will include them. SMS to New Caledonian mobiles go out directly over the local mobile network. SMS to French Polynesia, Vanuatu, Australia, New Zealand and mainland France use international routing, and other destinations are available on request.
Can I test SMS PRO before committing?
Yes. We offer 50 free SMS to try SMS PRO, no commitment: just email us at contact@smspro.nc.
How do I get a proposal?
Describe what you send in the form, or call (+687) 23.04.04. An adviser calls you back, goes through how you work with you, then sends you a written proposal. Our team then opens your account for you.
