*Unless there is a change in credit card details, this information is usually only required setup once.

Note: If you have enabled the option to "Auto Topup" or "One Time Topup", but still don't see the charge is done, it is due to system had failed to charge your current stored credit card.

Therefore you will need to change your credit card by clicking on "Manage Card" to change/add a new card and you can try again by choosing the newly added card and clicking on Save to see if it works.


Manual Topup SMS Credit

Businesses who prefer to top up manually should review their "Service Credit Balance" and "Estimated local SMS messages left" on a regular basis; this will prevent your SMS campaign from being interrupted in the middle of sending or your member from being frustrated at the counter due to an unreceived OTP.

You can review the details in "SMS Credit" section.
