Fast2SMS and SMS Gateway Providers at a glance
Both services sell prepaid, DLT-compliant bulk SMS in India, with a web panel and an API. The differences are in how pricing changes with volume, how long credits last and how you get help.
SMS Gateway Providers is run by AvanceZone Technology, which has offered bulk SMS from Coimbatore since 2000. Alongside SMS we offer WhatsApp Business API, RCS, voice and international SMS on one account.
Bulk SMS price at the same volume
Fast2SMS prices by the amount you recharge, from ₹0.25 per SMS for small top-ups down to ₹0.11 for recharges of ₹6 lakh or more. Our rate is ₹0.20 per SMS up to 10,000 SMS and ₹0.15 up to 1,00,000 SMS, with custom Enterprise pricing above that. Fast2SMS adds GST at checkout, and our prices also exclude 18% GST.
From 5,000 to 1,00,000 SMS, our published rate is lower at every volume in the table on this page. Above 1 lakh SMS, compare Fast2SMS's ₹0.11 to ₹0.17 slabs with an Enterprise quote from us.
How long your SMS credits last
On Fast2SMS, validity depends on the recharge: unlimited for ₹100 to ₹3,999, six months for ₹4,000 to ₹13,999, one year from ₹14,000, and two years from ₹6 lakh.
Our credits last one year for every purchase, and unused credits carry over when you renew before they expire.
When Fast2SMS may suit you better
We would rather you choose the right provider than switch twice. Fast2SMS may be the better fit if:
- You only need a few hundred SMS and want to start with ₹100.
- You want credits that never expire on small recharges.
- You send several lakh SMS a month and want a published ₹0.11 to ₹0.13 rate without asking for a quote.
Switching without a new DLT registration
Your DLT entity, headers and templates belong to your business, not to your SMS provider. To move, you add our telemarketer to your PE–TM chain on your DLT portal, and we set up the same sender IDs and templates in your account.
Run both providers side by side for a few days and compare delivery reports before you move all your traffic.
Sending outside India too?
We also send SMS and WhatsApp messages to customers abroad, with help on each country's sender ID and consent rules.
