Understanding the SMS wallet

The SMS wallet is your central hub for tracking credits, usage, and fees related to SMS and MMS messaging. The balance automatically refreshes every 5 minutes, so you always see the most up-to-date amount.

Current balance

In this section, you will find:

• Your available SMS credits in USD
• You can top up manually at any time, or enable Auto top up to refill credits automatically when the balance drops below your set threshold.
• Your balance is used for:
  • Messaging costs: Credits are deducted for each SMS segment or MMS message sent or received.
  • Phone number fees: Monthly subscription fees for SMS numbers are billed from the wallet.
  • Carrier fees: Any additional surcharges applied by mobile carriers are charged here.

SMS overall usage

Applying filters and date range

You can customize the data displayed in your SMS overall usage view by applying filters. This helps you focus on a specific time period, channel, or campaign.

• Date range
  • Use the date picker to select a custom range of up to one year. This allows you to review past activity for reporting, cost tracking, or performance analysis.
• SMS channels
  • Use the channel dropdown to view usage for all channels or a specific SMS phone number. This is useful if your workspace manages multiple numbers across different regions or campaigns.

Once filters are applied, the usage table and credit summaries will automatically refresh to reflect the selected criteria.

Managing SMS credits

Keep your SMS balance topped up to ensure messages and phone numbers remain active. You can manually top up credits at any time, or set up automatic top-ups to avoid interruptions.
