Since we started exploring RingCentral recently, We do have some basic query.

What is the price for each text message sent from RingCentral's SMS API? Do we need to pay anything for sending SMS from there? Also, we noticed that there is a watermark in each text message we sent? How can we remove it from the configuration? We didn't see any configuration change for that.

Please read this blog for information about SMS regulation and price.

For your first question, you can check the details with the backend developer team by submitting a help ticket.

Meanwhile, you can refer this https://support.ringcentral.com/s/article/International-SMS?language=en_US

For your second question, the answer is: From Sandbox, the SMS is for testing purposes and there will be a watermark on every SMS text. You cannot use SMS for commercial purposes. Once in production, this watermark will not be there.

So technically there will be no configuration to remove this as the watermark is intentionally kept for the sandbox environment
