In an effort to stop misuse and protect our user accounts, we have introduced a quick verification system to enable Phone Calls and SMS for your Squadcast Organization.
If you can see this banner at the top of your Squadcast screen, you will need to verify your Squadcast account to enable Phone and SMS notifications.

You can see how many free SMS & Phone Calls are left under the SMS Notifications & Phone-calls section of the Free plan.
To understand your SMS and Phone Call consumption in more detail, log in to the Billing Portal.
Once you exhaust the free SMS and Phone Calls limit, you can receive only Email and mobile Push notifications or choose to upgrade & activate the Pro, Premium, or Enterprise Plans.
