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.
We are currently going to replace Exotel as our use cases have evolved over a period of time and it can no longer be satisfied by Exotel. Hence we have decided to move to a much advanced and customisable Cloud Telephony Solution - Intalk. We would still be using Exotel for …
Exotel was selected by us because of the following reasons: -Low set-up and maintenance cost as compared to its peers. -Prompt customer service: You want to upgrade your plan or facing any issues around the platform, Exotel team is just a call away.
They are well suited in start up in the Central Asia market, would recommend them for that area. We would also recommend their Voice over internet protocol services for mainland as well. Either the text or VOIP was a good service. The experience overall was great with them. Highly recommended.

Easy to Use: Anyone can start using the platform from the Day 1. No extensive training required for it. Just integrate your phone number with the platform and solve customer problems at godspeed!
IVR Set-up- Want to have different services on a single number for your Services. Set-up IVR and make your life easy.
For cold calling and outbound callings, to a certain extend Exotel serves the purpose as mutliple DID numbers are available at our fingertips. For company which use outcalling as a form of passing information to users can benefit from the flexibility it provides. They have a recharge and use model which doesnt have certain expiry. Basic API documentation available and lesser support from their support team on this matter makes it difficult to check if the API thows any error
Initially they had chat support which was available faster. But now the chat support gets routed to a virtual agent and unable to get in touch with an actual agent. They also have no support with respect to the API's and other integrations.
