SMS credits by country

The SMS allowance on every ScanQueue plan is counted in credits. A text to most countries uses 1 credit. Carriers in some countries charge much more to deliver a text, so a text to a phone number in those countries uses more credits, as listed below.

WhatsApp messages are not affected: each WhatsApp message counts as one message, whatever the country.

Good to know

  • The country is taken from the phone number the customer enters, not from where your business is.
  • SMS credits and WhatsApp allowances reset monthly with your billing cycle.
  • Carrier prices change, so this list can change too. This page always shows the credits in use today.
