SMS credit cost logic

  • Credit cost per SMS: Determined by the destination country and your active pricing plan.

  • Message length: SMS messages longer than 160 characters are split into multiple SMS, each consuming credits. But don't worry it will still only send 1 SMS to your customer it only gets billed as 2 or more.
