TABLE OF CONTENTS |
The Usage Page is your go-to destination for tracking and managing your messaging and calling activities within our platform. Whether you're using our texting or calling product, this comprehensive guide will walk you through the features and functionalities of the Usage Page.
Products and Costs
We have 4 main products we bill for:
- SMS segments (not messages - each segment is 153 characters **we recommend keeping each message under 4 segments**)
- MMS messages (picture messages)
- Dials (each dial made, whether or not you connect to a person)
- Voicemails (each voicemail left on a landline number)
Each product has a unique rate that can be found in your Scale to Win contract.
In order to calculate your costs to date, you will need to find your text and/or dialer usage. Multiply the quantity by your rate to find out your costs per product. The aggregate to find your total costs:
Amount of SMS Segments x SMS rate = SMS Cost
Amount of MMS Messages x MMS rate = MMS Cost
Amount of Dials x Dialer rate = Dials Cost
Amount of Voicemails x VM rate = Voicemail Cost
SMS Cost + MMS Cost + Dials Cost + Voicemail Cost = Total Cost
