How to get a trial account and what it includes

The iSend trial account includes 50 SMS credits for 7 days, with no credit card and no automatic conversion to a subscription. You request it from the form on the isend.gr/trial page, our team reviews the request and activates the account on the same business day, Monday to Friday 09:00 to 16:00. It is the platform's regular account, with all features, and only two limits: the 50 credits and the 7 days.

How to request the trial

  1. Open the trial page and fill in the form: company name, full name, email, mobile number and what you want to send.
  2. Accept the communication about the request. Consent for updates and offers is separate and optional.
  3. Click send. The request reaches our team immediately.
  4. On the same business day you receive by email the login details for the platform, at sms.isend.gr. If you indicated an e-shop, the email also contains the instructions for the WooCommerce plugin.

If you prefer the phone, call 2310 501 800 during the same hours and we open the account together.

Why activation is done by a person

Messages leave the platform to real mobile numbers, with a Sender ID. If sign-up were automatic, anyone wanting to send unsolicited messages would open dozens of accounts in an hour, and the channel would fill with spam for everyone. The check takes a few minutes: we see that it is a real business or professional in Greece and that the use you described concerns your own customers. Requests for personal use, resale or sending to purchased lists are not approved.

What the trial account includes

Item In the trial
Credits 50 SMS to Greek mobile numbers. One message of up to 155 Greek characters consumes one credit.
Duration 7 days from activation, not from the request.
Sender "TEST iSend" on all messages. Your business name is set when a plan is activated.
Features Campaigns, contacts and groups, automations, scheduled sends, delivery reports, API, WooCommerce plugin.
Viber Not included. If you are interested, note it on the form and we set it up at activation.
Support From our team, by phone and email, the same as for subscribers.
Card and billing None. The account does not convert to a subscription on its own.

How to make the most of the 50 credits

The 50 credits are enough to test everything you will use afterwards, if you spread them out. A suggestion:

  • Send 2 messages to your own mobile number to see how the sender and the text appear. The article about the first campaign shows the steps.
  • Import a small group of 10 to 20 customers who have given consent and send a real update, not an offer.
  • If you have an e-shop, connect the plugin and place 2 test orders to see the status SMS.
  • If you work with appointments, set up one automatic reminder for the next day's appointments.
  • Keep 10 credits for the API, if you have your own system.

The reports show for each message whether it was delivered. For messages that are not delivered the credits are returned, as in regular accounts.

What happens when the trial ends

When the 7 days pass or the 50 credits are used up, the account stops sending. Your contacts, groups, automations and settings stay in place. If you want to continue, you choose one of the monthly plans on the pricing page and continue on the same account, with your business name as the sender. If you do not, you do not need to do anything. There is no charge and we do not bother you.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly is the account activated?

On the same business day, Monday to Friday 09:00 to 16:00. A request that arrives on Friday afternoon or over the weekend is activated on Monday morning. The 7 days count from activation.

Can I send with my business name during the trial?

No. Trial messages go out with the "TEST iSend" identifier, so the recipient understands it is a test. Your own Sender ID is set as soon as you activate a plan.

Can I request a second trial?

The trial is given once per business. If the 50 credits were not enough to see what you wanted, send us a message or call us. We schedule a short live demo and answer your questions before you decide.
