How to buy the SMS Add-on

Admins can purchase the SMS Add-on from their billing page.

  1. Click the gear icon ⚙️ in the left sidebar.

  2. Click Billing Details.

  3. Scroll to Feature Subscriptions and find Text/SMS Messaging.

  4. Click Add SMS Plan and follow the prompts to choose a plan and confirm payment.

SMS providers and mobile carriers require validation to send messages from Breezy. You’ll need to provide the following info when you choose a plan:

  • Full business address

  • Business phone number

  • Contact person’s first and last name

  • Contact person's email

Verification may take up to one week. We’ll let you know as soon as you’re verified so you can start sending messages. Your SMS subscription will take effect on that date and you’ll be charged then.


How SMS credits work

SMS or text messages are sent by mobile carriers in “segments”. Depending on the content of your message and the encoding that’s used, a segment holds about 160 characters. If your messages are long—or include emoji or certain characters—it could take multiple segments to send a single message.

Each Breezy SMS credit is equal to one segment. If a single text message uses several segments, it will take the same number of credits from your plan. You can find out how many credits you have available by checking your billing page.

💡 Tip: Scope out segments

Before you hit send, use a character counter or SMS segment calculator to see how your messages measure up!


Limits and alerts

The SMS Add-on provides a set number of SMS credits per month. No matter which plan you’re on, we’ll email you when you’ve reached 90% of your text message limit for the month.

If you reach your limit, you’ll have the option to buy more credits–10% of your SMS subscription amount. These extra credits will last 30 days from the date of purchase.
