Note: Call charges may include additional charges for call recording, call barging, transfer/conference call, charges for calls attended on SIP phone, and etc. For mor edetails, see our call rates.


What happens when you do not have enough phone credits?

As phone credits get exhausted every time you make or receive a call, it is necessary to recharge the credits whenever your account goes below $2 to avoid downtime. When phone credits are low, you cannot make or receive calls or purchase numbers. 

  1. If you run out of credits and try to make a call, you will see the following message on the caller widget.
  2. When you try buying a phone number with insufficient credits, the buy button will be disabled.

  2. Select the recharge amount you want to add each month and click Save.

Recharge credits offline via mail

If you do not wish to keep a credit card on file, you can choose to recharge your credits offline. You will receive a mail whenever your account's credit goes below $5. You can then mail us at support@freshcaller.com with the credit amount you want to add. 

The billing team will add the credits and generate the invoice with you. Also, if you opt for offline recharge, the auto-recharge option will not work. However, if there is a credit card saved in your account, you could manually recharge.

Auto-recharge credits offline

If you wish to auto-recharge your credits offline, send a mail to the billing team at billing@freshworks.com with the following details:

  • The recharge amount you wish to add with every reload
  • The threshold value of credits you want to set before we reload. For example, If the threshold is $100, we will reload every time the credit balance hits $100
  • The maximum amount of phone credits per month you expect to spend
  • For offline invoicing, the billing team will additionally ask you to fill a SOF, which your account manager will use, to raise an offline invoice and add phone credits.


Notes:
  1. The auto-recharge option is not available when you are in trial.
  2. The invoices are sent to the account admin's registered email id.
  3. In case you want to add credits via wire transfer, checks, or any other mode of payment, drop us an email at support@freshcaller.com.
