What affects the number of Credits consumed while sending SMS Surveys via Zonka Feedback?

There can be various factors that influence how many credits are consumed when sending SMS surveys. These include the recipient’s country, length of the message, and the characters included in the message.

Character Limit

It is important to keep in mind how your content may be broken up into multiple messages. The limit for these characters is 160 characters per message.

For example, 160 Characters = 1 Number of messages
162 Characters = 1 Number of messages
320 Characters = 2 Number of messages

Note: Each message requires 1 credit.

The survey link is included in the message will count against your character limit.

Where to view the number of SMS Credits in your plan?

You can view how many SMS credits are available to your account whenever you go to your subscription summary. Please follow the below steps,

  1. Go to your 'Profile' at the left bottom corner.

  2. Click on 'Subscription' and choose the Summary sub-menu.

  3. Under the My Plan Stats > SMS credits or for easy access please click here.

Each plan will have its own credit limitations, and once you reach the limit and credits are exhausted any SMS sent then after, will not be sent. To know more about the pricing plans and the number of credits, please visit our pricing page or click here.

Additional SMS credits

If you want to upgrade with your SMS credits and not with the plan then you can purchase the add-ons at a custom cost. You can either visit our pricing page to know about the additional cost for SMS credits or reach out to hello@zonkafeedback.com.
