While calls to your local Dialpad numbers are free, certain features do incur additional charges:
- International and domestic calls
- Inbound and outbound
- Messaging (SMS/MMS) in the US
- Inbound calls to toll-free lines
- Outbound faxes
Easily purchase Calling Credits to ensure you always have access to these features.
Let's learn more about how to add credits, check your balance, view your usage, and confirm your credit payment.
Credits are managed from the Credits page in your Admin portal.
Add Call Credits
To add calling credits for your international and/or toll-free lines, head to your Admin Settings from Dialpad.com
- Click Billing
- Click Calling Credits
- Select Add Value
- Choose the desired credit amount and select Next
- Choose if you'd like to automatically recharge your credits when your balance is below $5
- Choose if you'd like to automatically recharge your credits when your balance is below $5
- Confirm the changes to your account
Call credits apply to messages too! Enabling the Automatic Credit Refill feature ensures your outbound SMS/MMS messages will not be blocked due to insufficient funds.
Each office needs to have its own calling credits. If you have multiple offices, you'll need to follow these steps in every office.
Accounts paying with a credit card will see credit balance charges immediately, while invoiced accounts will be assessed the credit amount on their next invoice date.
Automatic Credit Refill
Call credits apply to both calls and messages — the last thing you want is to have a message blocked because you ran out of credits!
Use Dialpad's automatic credit refill feature to ensure your offices never run out of call and message credits.
From the main Credits page, check the box beside 'Automatically add $50.00 to your calling credits when your balance goes below $5"
When enabled, if your credit balance dips below $5, your card will automatically be charged and $50.00 of call credits will be applied to your account.
Note:

Check Credit Balance
Call credits run off of your call credit balance.
You can view this balance in your Admin Settings at Dialpad.com
- Select Billing from the sidebar
- Click Call Credits
International calls are charged at a set rate based on the caller's country location. Inbound calls to US and Canada toll-free numbers are charged to you at $0.02 USD per minute.
Confirm Credit Card
Some accounts may need to confirm a credit card before calling credits can be added. We do this as an added security step and to mitigate fraudulent charges on your account.
Admins will see the prompt after selecting a dollar value from the Add Value menu
We'll post a small charge on your credit card and will ask you to confirm the amount. Simply log into your account to verify and enter the amount in Dialpad. Once verified, you'll be able to add more calling credits whenever you need or even set up automatic recharges.
Check Your Usage

To do this, first, navigate to your Admin Settings at Dialpad.com and follow the below steps.
