Being overcharged for SMS Credit

Hi Klaviyo team,

I’m on the free plan and recently noticed my SMS usage has gone over because foreign SMS credits (Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, etc.) were charged — but I’ve checked and all my recipients are +61 Australian numbers.

Specifically, this happened in my flow called Shipment Delivered – Standard between May 1 and May 10, 2025.

  • All recipient numbers are +61 (confirmed in the recipient activity report).

  • No foreign numbers are on my list.

  • Yet the system shows foreign SMS credits being consumed, pushing me past my monthly allowance.

    Could someone please help investigate why domestic numbers are being billed as foreign and advise if this can be fixed or credited back?

Hi ​@Pikko ! Thank you for reaching out to the Community.

I’m happy to provide some more context around the screenshot you’ve provided above - that chart is simply showing how many SMS credits are used per SMS send (dependent on your region) as shown in our ‘Understanding Klaviyo’s SMS credit system’ guide here

If you want to see your actual SMS plan, I would suggest navigating to your billing settings where you can view your SMS usage: https://www.klaviyo.com/settings/billing/overview 

I hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions!
