Hi, I saw the Bariloche package 👋
Hi! Yes, it runs in July. How many are travelling?
Two adults, in July
Great. Here are 3 options with flights included.
I'll call you in 5 and we close it.
- What comes in.
- Messages people send you are never charged, in any country.
- What goes out through the API.
- It does not matter who writes it. If it goes out through the API, Meta charges for it.
- What you type on the phone.
- Meta does not charge for what goes out from the WhatsApp Business app, even with the number connected.
We're an agency inand each month we get
enquiries from
Each number adds 1,000 free messages a month.
With 2 WhatsApp numbers you would get 2,000 free messages a month instead of 1,000: Meta would charge you USD 26.00 less.
We assume 5 messages per enquiry.
We worked it out from more than 40,000 analysed conversations from agencies already running on Trama.
One number for everyone, or one per seller
Meta counts the 1,000 free messages per number, not per company. How the numbers are split changes the bill without changing a single enquiry.
One number for the whole team
Everyone replies from the same web inbox, so every reply goes out through the API. Past the first 1,000 of the month, Meta charges for all of them.
A number per seller
Every line brings its own allowance. And whatever the seller types from their own phone, Meta does not charge for, even with the number connected.
Meta does not charge for having a number: it charges per delivered message.
