HelpOnClick-Chat Support via SMS

In this section, you have several available options:

When I’m logged off – enable or disable chat notifications to your mobile phone.
Phone number country – choose the closest country from this list.
Phone number – your phone number, no country code.
Phone time zone – your time zone.
I’m available on – you’ll get chat notifications to your phone during those times only.

All countries listed within the Chat via SMS Section, except Israel, benefit from local numbers. Therefore, your mobile operator will only apply regular local SMS rates for using the service.

What are the costs?

The Chat via SMS feature is available with two pricing plans:

  • For USA and Canada – only  $99, onetime payment.
  • For other countries worldwide – only $169, onetime payment.
