Additional Details

—

Dexatel uses a pay-as-you-go pricing model for all messaging channels, including SMS, WhatsApp, Viber, RCS, Telegram, and Voice. There are no sign-up fees or monthly subscriptions. Country-based rates: Message prices vary by the destination country. Volume discounts: The more messages you send, the lower your per-message cost. Fair billing: You only pay for successfully delivered messages. Flexible payments: Pay by credit card, PayPal, or bank transfer without stored payment details. To estimate costs, use Dexatel’s online pricing calculator on Dexatel's website. Select the country (or countries) where you’ll be sending messages and the system will show an approximate price per message based on location and volume. Final costs depend on recipients’ countries and monthly volume with loyalty benefits available for long-term customers.

User Testimonials
	Bird	Dexatel
Likelihood to Recommend	Bird (formerly MessageBird) MessageBird seems to me a very useful tool for the times we are living [in] and the paradigm shift in corporate communications in all industries. It is very good at exchanging information and plain text. It works with some difficulty for sending images and other functionalities that the real WhatsApp application has, but the client on the other side does not know about this and sometimes sends information such as location that it is not possible to obtain.

Pros	Bird (formerly MessageBird) Call reminders and follow up incl reviews Easy for the client to access the call without needing to download software Customizable branding Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Dexatel No answers on this topic
Cons	Bird (formerly MessageBird) SMS authentication is pricey (like other players) Lack dedicated SMS phone numbers for Brazil Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Dexatel No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Bird (formerly MessageBird) Regarding WhatsApp Business, it is a very useful tool because templates can be programmed for the entire organization and clients can also be referred to other users in order to decongest an agent who can become quite busy. Otherwise there would be no way to serve you through two agents and you could have a bad end user or customer experience.

Return on Investment	Bird (formerly MessageBird) Easy video calling for scheduled appointments has meant customer retention as they don't need specific software etc to have a call. Negative impact whilst our internet has been slow as I've been unable to use the product well as dial in to the call using a phone option. Emails reminders has meant more clients turning up for the calls leading to retained income and happier customers.
