Before your team can start placing international calls or sending international messages, admins will need to enable international services on their account, as well as add credits.
Be sure to check out our international calling rates.

Confirm credit card
Some accounts may need to confirm the credit card before credits can be added. We do this as an added security step to mitigate fraudulent charges on your account.
We'll post a small charge on your credit card and ask you to confirm the amount.
Once verified, you'll be able to add more credits whenever you need, or set up automatic recharges.

You're also able to add more credits, or even enable or disable international services completely.
