Does Noir SMS balance expire?
Quick answer
No. Your Noir SMS balance never expires, so you can top up once and use it over months. Refunds for numbers that got no SMS go straight back to the balance, and affiliate earnings can be moved into it too. There's no monthly fee or subscription eating into it.
A common worry with prepaid services is losing money you didn't spend. Here's how it works at Noir SMS.
