Check Remaining SMS Credits

View your remaining credits for SMS Messaging.

Before you begin

The computer you use must have active Internet access.

About this task

Each SMS message that is sent incurs a charge, deducted from the number of credits on your account. The Get Credits button on this Status tab can be used to determine the number of SM credits you have remaining.

Note:

Your credit quota is not stored within Bluechip. Therefore, whenever you access the Credit Status tab your Credits Remaining will be unknown until you refresh the data by clicking Get Credits.

Procedure

Within Bluechip select SMS > Setup SMS Reminders.
In the SMS Reminders Setup window, select the Status tab.
- Your SMS credit amount is displayed here.
- If the amount reads <unknown>, this suggests Bluechip cannot retrieve the value. Check that you have Internet access.
Click Get Credits. Bluechip will attempt to contact the SMS service provider and determine the number of SMS credits you have remaining with them. The application might appear not to respond momentarily while this request is in progress.

Results

The number of your remaining SMS message credits is displayed. If all of the SMS credit has been used, Bluechip displays a message.
