SMS Credits
SMS text messages may cost one or more credits depending on the message length. This is because long SMS text messages are broken into smaller SMS messages for transmission on the mobile network.
The following table shows how text messages are broken down:
| Message Length | Credits |
|---|---|
| 1 - 159 characters | 1 unit |
| 160 - 306 characters | 2 units |
| 307 - 459 characters | 3 units |
| 460 - 612 characters | 4 units |
Examples: Sending 10 SMS text messages each 150 characters long will cost 10 credits. Sending 10 SMS text messages each 200 characters long will cost 20 credits.
This credit forumla applies to both our SMS Gateway and SMS Blast services.
Note: As ByRSVP transitions to a Credit Dollar scheme, the above credits or units need to be converted to a dollar unit.
