Common questions

Why is Total Billable Pages higher than Sends? Each message can be several billable segments. Shorter messages without emoji use fewer segments.

Messages are stuck in Sending. Carriers can take a while to confirm delivery. If they stay there, check your 10DLC registration, because unregistered numbers are often filtered.
