When you create an account in the Sinch Customer Dashboard, it is created as a Trial account. Trial accounts allow you to try out Sinch products and services, but they have certain limitations:
- You will only receive 2 units of your country’s currency as a test credit, for example, $2 USD for US based accounts.
- You can only send unrestricted text messages to your own verified numbers in SMS, otherwise the content will be replaced by a test template.
- You cannot buy Numbers, you can only test using a test Number that is provided by Sinch.
- Certain destinations may not allow you to send test messages.
- Certain channels and services are locked to Trial accounts.
To overcome these restrictions, you can easily upgrade your account - read the Upgrading accounts article to learn how.
