Billing Cycles:
Data usage will be automatically billed when a user's wallet balance falls below the specified threshold. For instance, if the threshold is set to trigger an automatic charge when the wallet balance dips below $10, it will charge $10 each time the balance falls below that amount, even if it occurs multiple times in a day.
Segments are a way to break down SMS messages into units for billing and technical purposes.
Here's a breakdown of how they work:
Character Limit:
A single SMS message can only hold a certain number of characters, typically 160 characters in the US and Canada (it can vary by country).
Segments: An SMS that goes over the character limit gets split up into multiple segments. Each segment is like a piece of the message, containing that 160 character limit.
Cost: Jewelrybox.Ai charges you per segment, so a longer message that requires more segments will cost more to send.
Here's an example:
- You write an SMS with 180 characters.
- Since it's over the 160 character limit, it gets split into 2 segments (1 segment for the first 160 characters and another segment for the remaining 20 characters).
- You'll be charged for 2 segments instead of 1.
