  • When setting your gateway, check to see where your project falls under Telerivet's pricing. It is important to set up the right pricing structure before your project goes live. For example, it's important to ensure that the number of contacts you will be sending to falls within the limit allowed on the account.  If you want to set your Telerivet pricing to a non-free plan, make sure that when you use your credit card to add funds to "Select a plan" that you want to use. 
  • It's important to be aware of the maximum number of stored messages for that your accountTelerivet plan allows. For example, the Test Telerivet plan only allows 500 stored messagesmessages to be stored in the account, so after sending and receiving 500 messages total, the account will stop sending new messages unless until old messages are deleted.  To have your Telerivet account automatically delete old messages, you can update the "Message Retention" setting for your Telerivet project (Dashboard -> Edit Settings).
  • When sending outbound SMS, you may need to throttle the rate at which you send SMS in order to comply with regulations in the country you are sending.  A good rule of thumb is to not exceed the rate of 1 SMS per second, though you should check with the regulations in the country you wish to send SMS.  In order to enforce the rate limit, in the Telerivet Android app, go to Phone Settings -> Message Sending Parameters -> Delay after message sent (ms), and enter the number of milliseconds to wait between sending each SMS.  For example, enter 1000 to send SMS no faster than the rate of 1 SMS per second.
