Important billing notes

How usage charges are calculated

This page provides estimated billing rates only. Actual rates may vary. Supplier rates may change without notice.

Messages may contain multiple billable segments. Calls may have multiple billable legs and are rounded according to provider rules. AI-generated messages can incur both generation and delivery charges.

Where wallet billing is configured, auto-recharge funds the wallet from the saved payment method when its balance falls below the configured threshold. Smart Adjustment, if enabled, can increase future recharge amounts. A top-up is not a second charge for the same usage.

Review your account’s Billing and Wallet Transactions for actual charges and funding settings, or contact contact@nextstepmarketing.net.
