Resource plans
SMS provides resource plans to help you save resource usage costs. If you purchase a resource plan, SMS first offsets your resource usage from the resource plan. If the quota of the resource plan is insufficient, the pay-as-you-go billing method is automatically used for the excess resource usage. You can view the prices of resource plans on the buy page of resource plans.
International SMS plan (plus)
You can use an international SMS plan (plus) to send messages to recipients in more than 200 countries and regions.
International SMS plan
You cannot use international SMS plans to send messages to recipients in the following countries and regions: Tajikistan, Martinique, Palestine, Algeria, Tunisia, Mauritania, Jordan, Armenia, Nepal, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, Azerbaijan, Libya, Indonesia, Bulgaria, Afghanistan, Cook Islands, French Guiana, Chad, Nigeria, Finland, Guadeloupe, Polynesia, Israel, Germany, Mali, Luxembourg, Mongolia, Ghana, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Kuwait, and Egypt. (Updated: August 23, 2022)
Resource plan for a specific country or region
You can select a resource plan that is designed for a specific country or region on the buy page of resource plans.
- The messages sent before you purchase a resource plan and the messages sent after the plan runs out of its quota are billed based on the pay-as-you-go billing method.
- After you purchase a resource plan, you cannot apply for a refund.
- If your Alibaba Cloud account has overdue payments, your resource plan cannot be used. If your resource plan is in use, you cannot apply for a refund for the remaining quota of the plan.
- A resource plan is valid for 180 days. After it expires, the message quota can no longer be used.
Billing rules
- Bills are updated in real time. On the first day of each month, the bill of the previous month is generated. Alibaba Cloud automatically offsets the quota from a resource plan or your Alibaba Cloud account. Then, you can apply for an invoice for the bill.
- Messages are billed after they are submitted. Even if a message fails to be delivered, you are still charged for the message.
Overdue payments
If the balance of your Alibaba Cloud account, (including coupons) is less than the payable amount on your bill, the bill is overdue. If you have overdue bills, you cannot send messages.
