SMS Credits are required to send SMS messages from Nookal.

Each SMS message uses 1 SMS Credit per part of the message which is 160 characters. SMS replies are free.

SMS can be purchased manually or the automatic refill can be set up when it reaches the limit previously set.

To avoid running out of SMS Credits and having appointment reminders not sent, it is recommended to set up the Automatic Refill.
