Message Length and Credit Calculation

SMS messages are charged in 160-character chunks. If your message exceeds 160 characters, it will use additional credits accordingly:

• 1-160 characters = 1 SMS worth of credits

• 161-320 characters = 2 SMS worth of credits

• And so on...

For example:

• A 150-character message to the US = 10 credits

• A 200-character message to France = 76 credits (2 × 38 credits)

It is advised to keep your reminder messages concise to avoid using multiple SMS chunks

Best Practices

1. Write clear, concise reminder messages

2. Include essential information only (date, time, and meeting link)

3. Set reminders at appropriate intervals (e.g., 24 hours before the meeting)
