BroadNet does not publish a per-country WhatsApp Business rate for Oman; it is quoted on request (https://www.broadnet.me/contact?topic=enterprise-pricing). The table below is the channel-wide list rate (per template message), not a Oman tariff:

| Region / category | Rate (USD) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication | $0.0135 | OTP, login codes — user-initiated auth |
| Utility | $0.0163 | Order updates, alerts, account notifications |
| Marketing | $0.0259 | Promotional and re-engagement templates |
| Service | $0.0163 | Replies inside the 24h window, billed per message at the market's utility rate since 1 Oct 2026, after 1,000 free service messages per business phone number per month |

Channel-wide list rates, not tariffs for Oman: Meta prices each category by the recipient's country code, and BroadNet quotes the rates for Oman on request.

## 24-hour customer service window

Since 1 October 2026, Meta bills replies inside the 24-hour customer service window per message, at the market's utility rate: free-form service messages after a free tier of 1,000 service messages per business phone number per month, utility templates from the first message.

## Official Meta Business Solution Provider

BroadNet is an official Meta Business Solution Provider for the WhatsApp Business Platform, so account setup, business verification and template submission run through BroadNet.
- Setup: WABA verification handled by BroadNet — typically 3–7 business days

## Template categories and approval

Every business-initiated WhatsApp message uses a template that Meta has approved. Meta assigns each template one of three categories, and the category sets the price.

- Marketing: Promotions, offers, product announcements and re-engagement messages.
- Utility: Updates on an order, account or transaction the user has started: confirmations, delivery updates, alerts.
- Authentication: One-time passcodes for sign-in, sign-up or account recovery, in Meta's fixed authentication format.

- Each template is submitted to Meta for review before it can be sent; BroadNet submits it for you.
- Meta can move a template to another category when its content does not match the one chosen, and that category's rate then applies.
- Collect the user's opt-in to WhatsApp messages from your business before you send any template.
- Inside the 24-hour customer service window you can reply with free-form messages; outside it, only approved templates can be sent.

## Before you message customers in Oman

WhatsApp messages travel over Meta's network, not through the mobile operators in Oman, so SMS sender-ID registration and SMS send windows do not apply. Opt-in, and local consumer-protection and data-protection rules on marketing, still do.
