What are the limitations of a trial account?

Question

I saw the test message has '[FREE SMS DEMO, TEST MESSAGE]', will these words be removed after I buy credit?

Applies To

• Free Trial
• Demo Account
• Test Messages

Answer

After signing up for a Vonage API account, you can start to test the platform. At this stage, the following restrictions are in place:

• You can send SMS to your registered number and four verified test numbers, while Voice calls can only be made to your registered number.
• You cannot use trial credit to buy virtual phone numbers.
• Your SMS messages will have the text [FREE SMS DEMO, TEST MESSAGE] appended to the body of the message.

To remove these trial restrictions, you'll need to upgrade to a paid account. This will allow you to send to any numbers you want to within the local market regulations. See Country-Specific Features and Restrictions for the local market regulations and restrictions that apply to your destination numbers.
