Bulk SMS prices in Oceania and the Pacific

Australia and New Zealand with the Pacific island nations and territories from Papua New Guinea to French Polynesia. Per-message prices run from $0.00485 in Australia to $0.13165 in Tuvalu, all on one prepaid credit balance.

Retail, health services, schools, sports clubs, councils and tradespeople send most bulk texts in Australia and New Zealand, while Pacific lists often come from churches, NGOs, airlines and shipping services keeping island communities informed.

English texts fit GSM-7. French Polynesia, New Caledonia and Wallis and Futuna read French, and Pacific languages written in Latin letters mostly stay in GSM-7. The zone crosses the date line, so the same send time can fall on different days at each end.
