SMSGatewayCenter provides two distinct credit options to power your communication needs: Wallet and Credits (Units). Whether you’re sending Bulk SMS, using WhatsApp Business API, making OBD voice calls, or managing two-way messaging, we’ve got a system tailored for you. Here’s how they work and which one suits your needs:
1. Wallet: #
- What It Is: A unified, prepaid balance in your SMSGatewayCenter account, measured in your local currency (e.g., INR).
- How It Works: Recharge your wallet once, and use it across all our services—SMS, WhatsApp Business API, voice calls, missed call alerts, and incoming SMS. No need to manage separate balances for each product.
- Best For: Users who want a hassle-free, omnichannel experience with the flexibility to explore multiple communication tools under one roof.
- Default Option: Since services like WhatsApp Business API, voice calls, and two-way SMS don’t support the credit-based system, our platform automatically assigns you a wallet if you use these features.
2. Credits (Units): #
- What It Is: A unit-based system specifically designed for SMS products, where each SMS consumes a set number of credits based on its type and destination.
- How It Works: Purchase credits upfront, and use them exclusively for sending SMS. The credit deduction varies (e.g., 1 credit for a standard SMS, more for Unicode or longer messages).
- Best For: Businesses focused solely on SMS campaigns who prefer a straightforward, unit-based pricing model.
- Optional Choice: You can opt for this system if SMS is your primary need, but it doesn’t extend to other services like WhatsApp or voice.
Key Differences: #
| Feature | Wallet | Credits (Units) |
|---|---|---|
| Usage | All services (SMS, WhatsApp, Voice, etc.) | SMS only |
| Measurement | Currency (e.g., INR) | Units per SMS |
| Flexibility | Omnichannel support | SMS-specific |
