GOOD TO KNOW
Prepaid Packages
SMS packages are prepaid and not refundable
You are not able to send SMS unless invoice is paid by bank transfer or credit card
If you pay by credit card, packages can auto renew when they run out (so you don't need to re-order). From your Office settings in Qondor you can see how many messages you have left.
A package can be split between offices at the time of purchase, but can not be moved between offices.
Other information
Pricing can change at any time, but you keep the available list price on already purchased packages.
Keep in mind that a message of more than 160 characters is actually two messages combined into one, hence long messages incur higher costs. Please keep this in mind when presenting SMS options to your customers.
Messages can be sent both internationally and domestically.
At this point SMS messages can not be replied to by the recipient.
If you have purchased an SMS package without auto-renew and run out during a sending of SMS in bulk, Qondor will send them all and you will be invoiced for the negative amount.
