Use the premium messaging wallet to send premium SMS and WhatsApp messages with greater convenience. With the premium messaging wallet, you can make a one-time monetary payment to the wallet and then send your campaigns.
If you have secured a special rate for sends, then once you have used up the funds inside your wallet the amount you pay per message reverts to the variable pay-as-you-go rate. You can speak to your Customer Success representative to learn more.
You can add money to your wallet at any time, and the send costs are deducted from your wallet balance as you send your campaigns.
