Busy in December. Quieter in February. It all balances out.
For longer periods, your messages form one pool for the entire period. Pay for 3, 6, or 12 months upfront and get 2%, 4%, or 6% extra messages.
Per-unit list rates
Switchgear is prepaid: top up a wallet in kwacha, then buy a package of messages for a period, or pay as you go with no monthly fee and no minimum. Every price is VAT exclusive.
Sandbox is free
Build and test against simulators for as long as you like. Nothing is sent and nothing is charged.
Charged when it happens
A message is charged when it is sent, a check when it completes. Failed sends are released, not charged.

Every network. One API.
