How does it work?

MessageBird gives each new user 10 test credits. MessageBird test credits can be used to test our SMS service, by sending SMS messages to your own, verified number. Test credits can be used to send messages using our Dashboard or our API.

Why do we send you a verification SMS?

We do this for a few reasons. In short, we want to verify that you are not a robot, and you are a real human customer. We also need to validate the number you will be testing to.

How do I claim it?

To claim your credit, you can follow these simple steps:

1. In the top right corner of your account, next to your workspace name, you will see a button to ‘Claim Free Credits’

   

2. Click on the button, and on the new page choose your country from the dropdown menu and fill in the rest of your phone number.

   

3. Click on ‘Claim your free credits’ and wait to receive the code on your phone. This should typically arrive in about 5-10 seconds. Fill in the code in the box and click 'Verify.'

   

4. You now have 10 test credits on your account!
