SMS Spend Notifications

  • We will make our best efforts to alert you by SMS for every $50 to $100 of usage not included with your plan (non-cap usage).
  • There may be instances where this amount is greater, depending on the delay in usage being delivered and processed.

Please note: If you make a call which has a charge of $219, you will receive a notification after a record of that call has been received and processed by SpinTel — so your first notification may be for $219.
