What is a message credit?
A credit is how MojoTxt counts the messages you send. Each monthly plan includes a certain number of credits. Credits are counted per person, so a message to 100 people uses at least 100 credits.
| Message | Plain text | With emoji or special characters | Credits per person |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard text (SMS) | Up to 160 characters | Up to 70 characters | 1 |
| Extended text | Up to 306 characters | Up to 134 characters | 2 |
| Picture message (MMS), or a longer text | Up to 1,500 characters | Up to 1,500 characters | 3 |
| Receiving a text | 0 | ||
| Receiving a picture message | 1 | ||
You do not choose the type. MojoTxt works it out from what you typed and attached, and the counter under the message box shows the credits per person before you send.
Automatic replies use credits too. If 10 people text your auto-responder keyword and each gets a standard reply, that uses 10 credits. Credits are charged when a message sends, not when you schedule it.
When are credits added to my account?
At the start of each billing cycle, your plan's credits are added to your account. To see your cycle dates and balance, look at the Message Credit Usage box on your dashboard.
What if I have credits left over?
They roll over to the next cycle automatically. There is no limit to how many you can build up.
What if I run out?
On a paid plan, your messages keep sending and you are not cut off. We add the extra credits to your bill at the end of the billing cycle, at your plan's Additional messages rate. If you change to a new plan before the cycle ends, your overage is billed at the new plan's rate.
Your card is charged automatically. If the charge fails, we email you and try again every two days. If it is still failing after about 10 days, your account is closed. See Account and Billing.
On a free trial, you cannot send a message that costs more credits than you have left.
Do I need to buy credits for each phone number?
No. Credits belong to your account as a whole. All your phone numbers share the same credits.
