SMS package usage
INDEX
This option shows us, visually, the usage we have made of the SMS sends purchased. It offers a status bar, showing the total number of emails purchased and the total consumption made.
As well as the possibility of adding new SMS sending balance to the account (Buy package button) and access to a detailed view of the consumption/usage made in our SMS campaigns (View detailed package usage button).
View detailed package usage
When you click the View detailed package usage button, a detailed breakdown of the account's usage will appear, based on the desired time period.
The first thing you need to do is select the time range to check in Start date and End date, then click Search so the results appear just below (in the results area).
In the results area the data is organized into 4 columns: ID, the unique identifier of the campaign; Name, the name assigned to the campaign; Number of messages sent, the number of phones the message was sent to; and Credits used, the total credits consumed by the campaign.
Both above and below the results area, you have the total number of messages sent and credits used.
Buy a package (Packages tab)
This takes us to the purchase area, which is the same screen where you can purchase email sending balance, but in this case the SMS tab is selected by default instead of the EMAIL tab (you can see this in the upper-left area of the window).
As always, the purchase requires three simple steps: selecting the desired plan, providing the information you want to appear on the purchase invoice, and finally making the payment.
Let's focus on purchasing SMS. To do this, first select the number of SMS you want from the Credits dropdown menu, which by default selects the 350 SMS package, but will give you the following options:
Once you have selected the credit package, the price will be updated in the upper-right area and you should click the Next button so that, on the next screen, you can enter the details for creating the purchase invoice.
After reviewing that the billing details are correct, check the I accept the terms and conditions available here option. Then click the Submit button to complete the payment and move on to the payment method selection screen.
Payment methods
Click the PayPal button to pay via PayPal, or click the VISA/MasterCard button to pay by card.
After clicking the PayPal button, a new yellow button will appear below labeled PayPal pay now, which you can use to complete the payment that way.
After clicking the VISA/MasterCard button, an area will appear below where you can enter the card details you want to pay with. Once done, simply click Pay to complete the card payment.
View Invoices (INVOICES tab)
To view the invoices generated from purchases, simply click the INVOICES tab in the upper-right area and you will access a list of all of them. To view any of them in detail and download them as a PDF, simply click the Show icon (blue magnifying glass).
Next to the INVOICES tab you will find the AUTOMATIC RENEWAL tab, whose use is restricted to email purchases, so it does not apply to SMS purchases.
