# Text messages

The platform allows you to send SMS messages to the people registered on the platform.

SMS messages are not included in the base price you pay for using our service, but are billed on a pay-per-use basis and invoiced retroactively.

{% hint style="info" %}
For the moment we only support sending SMS messages to your **members**.
{% endhint %}
