Know what a campaign costs before it leaves
The most common reason people avoid bulk SMS is not knowing what a send will cost until the bill arrives. WHISPER shows the total on screen while you are still typing.
- The total appears before you send
- Recipients times pages times rate, calculated live as you type. No campaign has ever cost more than the number on the screen.
- Ghanaian numbers are fixed on upload
- 024XXXXXXX becomes 233XXXXXXXXX automatically. Duplicates are dropped and unusable numbers are flagged before they spend a credit.
- One name, everyone's details
- Write the message once with {Name} or any column from your spreadsheet, and each recipient gets their own version.
Hi {Name}, midweek service moves to 6:30pm this Wednesday. Please come with your study guide.

After you send
Proof that each message actually arrived
Sending is the easy part. Being able to show, afterwards, that 1,247 of 1,284 members received the notice is what turns SMS from an expense into something you can account for.
- Status for every single number
- Not just a campaign total — delivered, pending or failed, per recipient, updated from the network as results arrive.
- A receipt your treasurer will accept
- Download a PDF showing what was sent, to how many people and at what cost, for the board, the PTA or an auditor.
- Failed messages are refunded
- If a message cannot leave the platform, the credit goes back on your balance instead of quietly disappearing.

Questions people ask before starting
How much does bulk SMS cost in Ghana?
Bulk SMS on WHISPER costs GHS 0.04 per message sent to any Ghanaian network. There are no monthly fees, no setup fees and no minimum contract. You buy SMS credits up front in cedis and they never expire. A message of up to 160 characters counts as one SMS; longer messages are billed per 160-character page.
Are there monthly fees or contracts?
No. WHISPER is entirely pay-as-you-go. You buy a bundle of SMS credits in Ghana cedis, and you are charged only for the messages you actually send. Credits do not expire, and there is no subscription, no setup fee and no minimum commitment.
Which networks can WHISPER send SMS to in Ghana?
WHISPER delivers to all major Ghanaian mobile networks: MTN, Telecel and AirtelTigo. You do not need a separate account or a different rate for each network — every message costs the same GHS 0.04, whichever network the recipient is on.
What is an SMS sender ID and how do I get one in Ghana?
A sender ID is the name recipients see instead of a phone number, such as your church or school name. It can be up to 11 characters. On WHISPER you request one from the Sender IDs page with a short description of how you will use it; it is submitted for network approval and typically becomes active within one to three business days.
How do I pay for SMS credits in Ghana?
You pay in Ghana cedis through Paystack, which supports MTN Mobile Money, Telecel Cash, AirtelTigo Money, and Visa or Mastercard debit cards. Credits are added to your account automatically the moment payment is confirmed, so you can start sending immediately.
How do I know whether my messages were delivered?
Every campaign has a delivery report showing the status of each recipient — delivered, pending or failed. Status updates arrive from the network in near real time, and you can download a receipt as a PDF for your records or to justify spend to a committee or board.
