Desk from $79. Configure yours, then start a trial.

Starter, Team, and Ops are picked from how many numbers you run. Each number includes 1,500 SMS and 150 MMS for conversational traffic. Campaigns and overage are from 5.0¢ SMS · 25¢ MMS. The estimate is indicative (ex-GST) — not a binding invoice.

What is billed

Each service number is a Desk. Starter is $79 / mo, Team $69, Ops $59 — the configurator picks the band from the number count. Every number includes 1,500 SMS and 150 MMS a month for conversational traffic on the thread, not campaign blasts. Campaigns and overage are metered.

FAQ

Is there a public ¢ rate card?
Desk bands, the included conversational bundle, campaign/overage cents, and extra users are published on this page and in the configurator. The live total is indicative (ex-GST), not a binding invoice. Campaign SMS is estimated at list 6.0¢; volume 5.0¢ and floor 4.5¢ apply on a sales quote when volume warrants. Inbound voice and BE AI agent replies sit on that quote.
How do I start?
Use the configurator, then Start trial / Create account. Self-serve signup provisions a trial number. A sales quote remains for number porting, inbound voice, BE AI agent, and anything the estimator does not cover.
What is in the bundle?
Each service number includes 1,500 SMS and 150 MMS per month. That allowance is conversational — replies and day-to-day desk traffic on the thread — not campaign blasts. Campaigns and anything over the bundle are metered.
How many users are included?
Fifteen portal users are included on the Desk. Extra users are $10 / user / mo.
Can I port my existing number?
Yes. Port your existing number onto BE Messaging. Porting is a sales quote, not part of self-serve trial signup.
Minimum term?
One month. Month-to-month after that.
Where does screening fit?
Outbound screening scores scam phrasing, risky links, and velocity inside the send funnel. Holds go to an admin queue. It is trust infrastructure, not a hero upsell.
Where does data live?
The product runs on Binary Elements infrastructure in Australia. Roles gate modules; API keys are shown once and stored hashed.
STOP / opt-out?
Every campaign SMS ends with “Reply STOP to opt out”. Texting STOP (or STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, QUIT) to the company 04 adds that mobile to the company do-not-send list. Later campaign and survey sends to that number for that company are skipped. Conversational replies on the thread are not blocked.
