Frequently asked questions
How can we help?
Everything you need to know about Pinglo — pricing, setup, compliance and support.
Getting started
Do you offer a free trial?
Yes — every plan comes with a 14-day free trial with full access to all features.
How do I set up my account?
Sign up, verify your email, and we'll provision a toll-free number for you automatically. Once your number is verified by the carrier (about 5 business days), you can start sending campaigns.
How long does phone number verification take?
After signing up, your toll-free number is submitted to the carrier for verification. This takes about 5 business days. You'll receive an email and SMS notification once approved.
Can I import my existing contacts?
Yes. You can import contacts via CSV upload from your dashboard. We support bulk imports with custom fields, tags, and group assignments.
Pricing & billing
How does SMS pricing work?
All plans include access to SMS credits at $0.01 per text message segment. You can send unlimited messages per day as long as you have credits available. Credits never expire and roll over month to month.
Can I change plans at any time?
Yes. You can upgrade your plan at any time and changes take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing cycle. No penalties or hidden fees.
What happens if I run out of credits?
We'll notify you when you're approaching your limit. You can purchase additional SMS credits instantly from your dashboard. Credits are only $0.01 per message.
Is there a setup fee or contract?
No setup fees, no contracts, no hidden costs. Pay monthly or save 23% with annual billing. Cancel anytime with no penalties.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover) through our secure Stripe integration. Enterprise customers can pay via invoice.
Messaging & campaigns
What is the delivery rate?
Delivery depends on carrier verification, message content and your list quality. Pinglo sends only from carrier-verified numbers, handles opt-outs automatically, and shows the delivery status of every message in your real-time analytics so you can see exactly what arrived.
Can I send MMS (picture messages)?
Yes. MMS messaging is available on all plans. MMS credits are $0.05 per message and support images, GIFs, and videos up to 500KB.
How many contacts can I send to in one campaign?
It depends on your plan: Free/Trial supports up to 1,000 recipients, Starter up to 10,000, Professional up to 50,000, and Enterprise up to 500,000 per campaign.
Can I schedule campaigns for later?
Yes. You can schedule campaigns to send at a specific date and time, or set up recurring campaigns that repeat on a schedule you define.
How does the two-way inbox work?
Every inbound message from your contacts appears in your real-time inbox. You can reply directly, mark conversations as unread to follow up later, and see full conversation history with each contact.
Compliance & security
Is Pinglo TCPA compliant?
Yes. Pinglo includes built-in TCPA compliance tools: automatic opt-out handling (STOP/HELP keywords), subscription status tracking, consent management, and suppression lists to help you stay compliant.
How do opt-outs work?
When a contact replies STOP, they are automatically unsubscribed and added to the suppression list. You cannot send messages to opted-out contacts. Contacts can re-subscribe by texting START.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Data is encrypted in transit, and row-level security isolates every account’s data from every other account. Your data is never shared with third parties.
Team & account
Can I invite team members?
Yes. Depending on your plan, you can invite team members with different roles (Admin, Member, Read-only). Team members can collaborate on campaigns, manage contacts, and view analytics.
How do I reset my password?
Click "Forgot password" on the login page and enter your email. You'll receive a password reset link within minutes. If you don't see it, check your spam folder.

How quickly will I hear back from support?
