What “Prepaid” Means at Blacktel

Prepaid describes how eligible virtual-number charges are paid from Blacktel account credit. It does not mean a physical prepaid SIM, a disposable number or a guaranteed fixed term. Review the billing period and renewal method shown for the selected number.

How Prepaid Number Pricing Works

Number activation or rental charges are separate from call, SMS and fax usage charges. Account credit is used for eligible charges and limits what can be paid from the available balance. Scheduled renewals and subscriptions follow the selected terms and may create future charges.

Number Activation or Rental

The number price depends on its country and enabled capabilities. The country table shows the current charge for one billing period.

Inbound and Outbound Usage

Call, SMS and fax usage is priced separately from the virtual number. Inbound and outbound rates can differ.

Credits and Additional Costs

Blacktel credits pay for numbers and usage. Taxes, provider charges or regulatory costs are shown where they apply.

Renewal

Prepaid numbers require manual renewal. Subscription numbers renew according to the selected plan when sufficient Blacktel credits are available.
