        • If less than 500 messages are received, the revenue for that month will be kept by SMSS to cover costs. Prolonged periods of volumes below the indicated thresholds or no activity will result in re-allocation or de-activation of a short code or keyword
        • Revenues will be paid to you after 90 days depending on when the operator pays SMSS. We charge a small switching fee for each inbound message that you receive and for each automated reply SMS. In addition a once-off setup fee and no monthly fees are charged for keywords or sub-keywords. A fixed monthly rental fee is charged for dedicated short codes. These charges depend on the country and number type you choose. Revenue share available in the SA and Namibia only
