Why Do I See “Insufficient Credits”?

Learn why you may see an insufficient credits message even with a balance, and how rates, number format, or pending updates can affect calls.

Updated over a week ago

You see the “Insufficient Credits” message when your available balance is not enough to start a call to the selected destination.
This message appears before the call starts, and no credits are deducted.

When This Applies

This message appears when:

  • You try to place a call, and

  • Your current balance does not meet the minimum required for that destination’s call rate.

Why This Happens

  • The call rate is higher than your available balance

Talk360 checks the destination’s per-minute rate before starting a call.
If your balance is lower than that rate, the call cannot begin.

  • The phone number format is incorrect

An incorrect or missing country code can cause the app to apply a different rate than expected.

  • Credits were added, but not fully refreshed yet

After a recent top-up, the app may briefly need to refresh before showing the updated balance.

What to Do Next

  1. Check the call rate shown in the app for the number you are calling.

  2. Confirm the phone number format, including the correct country code.

  3. Restart the app if you recently purchased credits.

Once your balance meets the required rate, the call can start normally.

How to Check Calling Rates

  • In the app, open Calling Rates to see prices per country.

  • You can also view rates on the website.

  • In Contacts, the per-minute rate is shown under each phone number.

What Does Not Happen

  • No credits are deducted when the “Insufficient Credits” message appears.

  • The call does not connect until the balance requirement is met.

When to Contact Human Support

Contact Support only if:

  • Your balance is sufficient for the displayed rate, and

  • The message continues after restarting the app

Support can verify the balance and rate, but cannot override call requirements.
