Overview

Introduction

You can purchase a monthly resource package to save more. When the resource is used up, the system automatically stops SMS sending.

  • Resource packages are only available for international SMSs.
  • A resource package is bound to one account and cannot be used by different accounts.
  • You cannot unsubscribe from resource packages, so plan the quota and validity period carefully before making your purchase.
  • A resource package takes effect immediately after your purchase. It becomes invalid upon expiration and cannot be extended. Unused quotas cannot be refunded.
  • Currently, resource packages are only available for sending SMSs to the following countries: Indonesia, Thailand, India, Philippines, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Peru, and Dominican Republic.
  • A resource package is suspended when it is used up. Buy a new resource package timely. Resource packages you purchase at the same time have the same effective time and expiration time.

Billing Rules

  • After you purchase a resource package, the quota of the package is used when you send SMSs. When the quota is used up, the system automatically stops SMS sending. Buy a new resource package to continue using the service.
  • If two resource packages of the same type are purchased in sequence, the resource package that takes effect first is used first. The second one will not be used until the quota of the first resource package is used up.
  • Verification code and notification SMSs are charged in the same way.
  • You are billed for sending SMSs by calling APIs or using Group SMS Assistant.
  • You are not billed for SMSs whose status parameter or status code is a Huawei platform error code.
