What does it cost to send images from Inbox?

Image messaging costs vary significantly between account types. Understanding these differences helps you manage messaging expenses and choose the right approach for your communication needs:

Pay-as-you-go accounts (credits)

Text messages that include images require a minimum of 2 credits per recipient phone number. This applies to both new conversations and replies to existing conversations.

Monthly plan accounts

Image sending is restricted to replies within existing conversations and limited to one recipient at a time. You can send images from the Conversations panel on the right side of your screen or through the 'Replies' tab in Broadcast Details.
