Will my friend be charged when she replies to my messages?


Yes, she will be charged, but not from MARITEX. The charges will be from the carrier that she uses.

Depending on your settings, MARITEX uses your mobile number or a number allocated to you by MARITEX as the sender number. In any case, your recipient will receive your message as an international SMS message.
International messages costs varies differently depending on the country, carrier and even the package plan a certain user is subscribed to. Unfortunately, it is impossible for us to track all of this information and so we are unable to tell you how much a certain user using a certain carrier will be charged when replying to your message.
We suggest that you ask you recipient to contact their carrier's support directly for information on international SMS charges.

Note for MARITEX SMS number users: MARITEX uses UK numbers as it's numbers. This means that if you're using a MARITEX allocated number and are sending to the UK, your recipients will be receiving your messages from a local number. Replies to those messages by your recipients will be charged at the local rates.
