"Topping up: choose a pack, pay by card."
  1. Choose a pack.
  2. Click Buy and pay by card.

They never expire.

Frequently asked questions

Does an SMS always cost one credit?

A message of 160 characters or less costs one credit; beyond that, two. An emoji lowers the limit to 70 characters. The counter tells you before you send.

What happens at zero?

Automatic SMS stop, automatic emails continue. Top up, and sends resume with the next appointment.
