Managing Dedicated Numbers & other monthly charges

Dedicated numbers on ClickSend, such as TFNs or 10DLC for US messaging incur recurring monthly fees. These fees may trigger automatic top-ups to ensure uninterrupted service.

Updated over a week ago

Why Am I Being Charged?

Recurring charges typically come from:

  • Monthly fees for active dedicated numbers, even if no messages are sent

  • Auto-recharge when your account balance is too low to cover fees

These safeguards protect your number and prevent service interruptions.

Managing Your Dedicated Number

Option 1: Keep Your Number

  • Continue sending/receiving messages without interruption

  • Monthly fees continue, and auto-recharge will top up your balance if needed

Option 2: Cancel Your Number

  • Stops future monthly charges and auto-recharges

  • Consequences:

    • You cannot send messages to countries requiring a dedicated number until you purchase a new one

    • A new number must go through the registration and verification process

To cancel:

  1. Log in to your account

  2. Navigate to Active Dedicated Numbers

  3. Contact ClickSend support to remove the number

Billing and auto-recharge stop immediately upon removal.


Refunds for Auto-Recharges

Unintended auto-recharges after removing a number may be eligible for a refund if you contact ClickSend support.

Note: Refunds do not cover prior months of non-usage or mid-cycle subscriptions, only remaining account credit.


US-Specific Considerations

  • Removing a dedicated number requires planning due to regulatory requirements

  • Any new number must be purchased and verified before use

  • 10DLC long codes and Toll-Free Numbers are valid options, but registration can take several days


In summary,

  • Dedicated numbers have monthly fees and may trigger auto-recharge

  • You can keep or cancel a number to manage charges

  • Removing a number stops recurring fees but requires re-registration to resume messaging

  • Accounts remain active after number removal

  • Contact ClickSend support for help with cancellations, refunds, or managing dedicated numbers
