How usage charges are billed.
Your usage wallet
Your GloSpira account includes a prepaid usage wallet. When you use features like phone calls, SMS, or email sends, the cost is deducted from your wallet balance in real time as usage occurs — not at the end of the month.
Automatic top-up
When your wallet balance drops below a set minimum, your payment method on file is automatically charged to replenish it. This keeps your services running without interruption and without manual top-ups.
Check your usage anytime
You can view your wallet balance, transaction history, and a full breakdown of usage charges anytime inside your account. If you have a question about a specific charge, contact us at info@glospira.com and we'll explain it clearly.
