Adding Credits to Your JustCall Account
Adding Credits to Your JustCall Account
Credits are the pay-as-you-go currency in JustCall. They cover usage beyond your plan's bundled minutes — international calls, bulk SMS campaigns, voicemail transcription, call forwarding, and AI Voice Agent overage. This article explains how to add credits and keep your account funded.
Available on: All plans
Why credits matter
Every JustCall plan includes bundled minutes for calls and SMS that reset monthly. Credits pay for everything beyond those included minutes.
Critical: Your account must maintain a positive credit balance at all times. A zero balance blocks all calls and messages — even if you still have unused bundled minutes. This is the single most common cause of unexpected service interruptions.
How to add credits
- Log in to your JustCall account
- Go to Billing in the left sidebar
- Click Add Credits
- Enter the amount you want to add
- Confirm payment using your card on file
Credits are applied to your account instantly.
Set up auto top-up
Auto top-up automatically adds credits when your balance drops below a threshold you set. This prevents service interruptions without manual intervention.
- Go to Billing > Credits
- Enable Auto Top-Up
- Set your minimum balance threshold (the balance at which top-up triggers)
- Set the amount to add each time
We recommend enabling auto top-up during initial account setup. Choose a threshold that covers at least 2–3 days of your typical usage.
