Resolving Billing and Payment Queries
Introduction
Understanding billing and payment processes at MobileSMS.io helps you maintain a seamless experience while using our services. Below, we’ve compiled a detailed guide to address common billing questions and provide steps for resolving any payment-related issues.
1. Topping Up Your Account
MobileSMS.io operates on a credit system for purchasing temporary numbers, with a minimum top-up requirement of $5. Here’s how the process works:
- Adding Credits:
- Access the “Top-Up” section in your dashboard.
- Choose your payment method, either Credit Card (via Stripe) with secure 3D verification or Cryptocurrency (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, etc.) for added privacy.
- Understanding Credit Deductions:
- Successful SMS Verification: Credits are only deducted once an SMS verification code is successfully received.
- No SMS Received: If you request a phone number but do not receive an SMS, your credits remain intact. This policy ensures that you only pay for verified services.
2. Common Billing Issues and Solutions
-
Credits Not Appearing After Payment:
- Credit Card Payments: Credits should appear instantly upon successful payment. If they do not, refresh the dashboard and check again.
- Cryptocurrency Payments: Crypto transactions require up to three blockchain confirmations. Wait a few minutes and refresh your dashboard if credits are delayed. Should delays persist, please submit a support ticket.
-
Credit Card Payment Declined:
- 3D Secure Verification: For added security, only cards with 3D Secure technology are accepted. This is a security feature that requires extra authentication, protecting against fraud.
- Alternative Options: If your card does not support 3D Secure, consider paying with cryptocurrency, which provides added security and ease.
-
Tracking Payments and Credits:
- Access your Billing History in the dashboard to view your payment history, top-up confirmations, and any recent credit deductions.
