- These prices exclude VAT and where applicable are per allocated number.
- Setup is paid in advance.
- Rental is paid 3 months in advance.
- The keyword pricing is based on the number of keywords per price band. If a client
requests 5 keywords on various price bands, then it will not be discounted as explained above.
- When a client reaches their 5th keyword on the same price band, then all 5 keywords
will have a rental of R 200 each; not only the 5th one.
- Spelling variance refers to additional keywords that are seen as incorrectly spelt
versions of an existing keyword. For example the word "Mommy" would be considered a spelling variance of "Mummy".
This will be considered on a case by case basis.

Revenue:
Clickatell will pass the full portion of the revenue share
received from the network operator to you.
A minimum monthly volume of 500 MO messages
per short code will be required before Clickatell
will pass on this revenue. Revenues will
be paid to you after ninety (90) days. Please note that this depends on
when the network operator pays Clickatell.
Revenue is split 40/60 between the operator and you, the content provider. Clickatell takes
no share.
Example: If each message sent to your chosen short code is charged at N$10, then
you will be paid N$6 and the operator will
keep N$4. For information on short code revenue
share and for additional information, please
