The table above shows your revenue after the operator's share, Fortumo commission and the costs of sending the users a reply SMS

Mobile operator takes a revenue share on each transaction for handling billing, collecting money and covering credit risk. The operators then pay the remaining money (usually between 40% and 60% depending on end-user price) to Fortumo. Fortumo pays you the money received from operators minus a small commission (which can be only 2-3% of net price, depending on country, type of service and volume). The table above shows your revenue after the operator's share and Fortumo commission.
