How to compare quotes fairly
- Write down your message types and monthly volumes, so every provider quotes the same thing.
- Ask each provider to list setup fees, minimums, renewals and price-change terms in writing.
- Run the same small test with each: register, send, read the delivery report, raise a support request.
- Check any "no registration needed" claim against TRAI's rules for commercial SMS.
- Ask to speak to a customer in your industry.
