# PureSMS > The UK's independent SMS provider. One flat rate of 2.8p per UK SMS, direct Tier 1 network routing, and monthly billing for only what you send. No pricing tiers, no minimums, no contract. PureSMS is a UK-based bulk SMS and SMS API provider, independent since 2008 as part of divergent, a family run owner-operator. We partner directly with mobile networks rather than reselling, which is how we keep one flat rate for everyone rather than ripping people off like everyone else. Key facts: - Pricing: 2.8p per UK SMS, flat for every customer, ex VAT, billed monthly for actual usage. Replies and delivery reports are free. Roughly 40% below the UK market average of 5.08p. - Routing: direct Tier 1 routing to UK mobile networks and across 900+ networks worldwide, with ~99% deliverability and sub-second average send times. - API: REST API with ~40ms completion, batch sending, first-class .NET and Node.js SDKs (Divergent.Connect), HMAC-SHA256 signed webhooks, delivery receipts and inbound replies. Client Tagging gives SaaS builders and resellers per-customer usage and cost reporting for seamless rebilling at any markup. - Cost transparency: the segment calculator at https://new.puresms.app/segments shows exactly how many segments a message uses and what it will cost, for any destination, before sending. - Positioning: probably the only truly independent UK SMS provider left. No private equity, no overseas parent setting margins, no investor call that needs your bill to go up. - Sign up: https://new.puresms.app/?onboard=true (no credit card required). ## Core pages - [Pricing](https://puresms.uk/pricing): the one flat rate, what is included, and how we compare to other UK providers. - [SMS segment calculator](https://new.puresms.app/segments): paste a message and see the exact segment count and full price before you send. - [Features](https://puresms.uk/features): online portal, bulk and mail-merge sending, scheduling, throttling, branded sender IDs, two-way messaging and contacts. - [Developers and API](https://puresms.uk/developers): REST API, SDKs, webhooks, authentication and code examples. - [Integrations](https://puresms.uk/integrations): direct API integration and 4000+ no-code integrations via Zapier. - [Ofcom compliance](https://puresms.uk/compliance): already compliant with Ofcom's Combatting mobile messaging scams rules (GC C9) a year ahead of the July 2027 deadline: KYC on every sender, verified Sender IDs in every country, no generic senders, continuous traffic monitoring with random human audits, automatic scam URL blocking.
