A balance represents the available funds in your account. This balance can be utilized to send messages and access other features within the platform. To determine the number of messages your balance can cover, divide the balance by your rate. Your rate can be found under the Usage tab.
Number of messages your balance can cover
To determine how many messages your balance can cover, divide your balance by the rate per message.
Example:
Balance =$34.86
Rate per Message = $0.009
34.86
______ =3.871.11
0.009
This means your balance of $34.86 can cover approximately 3,871 messages.
Where Can I See My Balance
You can view your balance on the upper right-hand side. Here's an example of calculating the funds needed with your current balance.
To calculate how much you would need to add to your balance to send a campaign to your 282 contacts, here's how we can break it down:
Determine the total cost of sending the SMS campaign:
You have 282 contacts.
The SMS rate is $0.009 per SMS.
So, the total cost of sending the campaign will be $2.54
Check your current balance:
Your current balance is $34.86
Since the campaign cost ($2.54) is well below your current balance, you don't need to add more funds to your balance to send the campaign. You have enough balance to cover the cost.
So, no additional funds are required to send your campaign with the current balance of $34.86.
