Types of SMS Newsletter in Ozioma
There are 2 types of SMS Newsletters in ozioma which are.
- Free SMS Newsletter: This means that the sender will pay the cost of the message sent. Free SMS newsletters can be sent to both ozioma users and non-users.
- Paid SMS Newsletter: This means that the subscribers will be the ones to pay for the messages they receive from you. The sender does not pay for the messages. This can be used by churches for sending daily devotional messages while the members pay the cost for it.

You can also make extra money from this by charging an extra fee for the messages.
