Toll-free numbers have high throughput and can send 200 messages per second. Subscribers can also reply directly to toll-free numbers to manage opt-in status.

1 toll-free number is included in non-Neto subscriptions, and additional toll-free numbers will cost $2.00 per month.

Alphanumeric IDs are the standard for SMS marketing in Australia and are the only available number type for sending to +61 numbers.
