2. Select “Upgrade Now”

3. Enter your company’s legal address

4. Enter the billing address associated with the credit card you’ll be using for billing.

Note: If you’d prefer to not use a credit card, you can reach out to Twilio’s support directly to set up invoiced billing. Please note that this is not covered in this article and Dickson, unfortunately, cannot help with this.

5. Enter the credit card details into the form.

 

6. Choose an amount to fund your account, noting the following:

How much is up to you or your organization but we’d recommend starting with at least a couple hundred dollars
After a few months, you’ll know about how much you use regularly
We HIGHLY recommend enabling Automatic Recharge
It is important to make sure your account is always funded to ensure proper delivery of SMS & Voice alerts.

7. Hit the “Upgrade Account” button at the bottom of the screen.

You’ve now set up your account and billing. Next, you’ll want to link your Twilio Account with Omega Order Tracking
