How to see how much was spent on SMS cost

You can find the SMS charges in the SMS logs

To see how much you have spent on SMS in a given time period, you can find this in the SMS logs:

You can set the date filters and see total message segments you have sent (1 segment is $0.0145, so longer messages cost more), and the total cost.

How SMS charges work:

Every SMS has a cost, even if it contains only 1 character.
SMS are charged per segment.
- 1 segment = up to 160 characters (standard text).
- If your message includes special characters or emojis, the limit per segment is reduced to 70 characters.
If your message is longer than 1 segment, it will be split into multiple segments, and each segment will be charged.
When sending to multiple recipients, each recipient’s message is charged separately.

Cost per segment:

Example:

Sending “Hello” to 10 recipients = 10 segments x $0.0145 = $0.145.
Sending a 200-character message (2 segments) to 3 recipients = 6 segments x $0.0145 = $0.087.
