What is Texting Base?
Texting Base is a Monthly Subscription Service that allows you to send out personalized blast texts through SMS. You pay a minimum of $x/month for y units. When you run out of units you are charged $x for an additional y units called a "reload". Reloads cannot be discounted.

What are "units"?
1 unit = 160 characters of text, longer texts are 153 characters per unit. When a rare character is used, 1 unit = 70 characters and longer texts are 67 characters per unit. By rare character we mean any character that isn't in the GSM encoding character set and requires the UCS-2 encoding, these are usually emojis and characters that aren't in the english keyboard. Both outbound and inbound texts are counted.

We have a unit counter where you write the message so you can keep an eye on how much you're using.  This unit counter turns red when you go from 1 unit to 2 units so you can watch your costs.
