Using Credits with 'Pay-as-you-go' Plans
Call minutes and SMS text messages, both sent and received, are charged at a per-minute or per-message rate based on the destination number.
For example, calling a UK number (+44X) with a Pay-as-you-go plan can range between $0.06 USD – $0.09 USD per minute, depending on the number’s prefix.
For international calls, rates can vary between $0.04 and $0.70 USD per minute, depending on the destination.
❗NOTE: Pay-as-you-go-plans are mainly used for international calling capabilities. We strive to provide the best value for our customers and pass on call/sms rate savings when available. Rate pricing may vary depending on changes to telecommunication service rates.
Using Credits with 'Prepaid' Plans and lifetime offers
Local call minutes and SMS text messages are bundled within prepaid plans (or lifetime offers) and consumed based on the number of minutes OR texts sent and received on the number. Once prepaid (or lifetime) minutes/texts run out, calls/texts will then be consumed directly from your account credit balance. You will not be able to send or receive calls/texts until credit balance is sufficient.
e.g. Receiving 1 text and replying to 1 text will deduct 2 SMS messages from your prepaid balance. Call minutes will also be deducted based on the ratio of minutes/texts bundled into your plan.
❗NOTE: Credits are shared between both call/text usage across all Prepaid, Pay-as-you-go or lifetime numbers. For example, SMS balance will also decrease when making calls on your Prepaid, Pay-as-you-go or lifetime numbers. Swipe left on your Prepaid 'Number Settings' menu to view texts/minutes available using credits.
