Sandbox

Sandbox

A target test environment for SMS integrations before production. The public website currently describes the surface; backend Sandbox behavior is not published as current production behavior.
target / planned

Environment separation

Sandbox and production should stay separated by credentials, balance, logs, contacts, sending rights and readiness gates.

current website

Sandbox flow

The website provides a reviewable Sandbox route and links from Trial and Developers. It does not issue keys or send messages.

target / planned

Virtual billing

Virtual balance, charge records and statements are target behavior and require backend confirmation before public contract publication.

target / planned

Delivery simulation

Delivery statuses and rejects should be simulated without real SMS or carrier traffic when the Sandbox backend exists.

target / planned

Virtual inbox

Inbox previews are planned for test messages only. Supported preview modes and retention period remain open decisions.

target / planned

Webhook tests

Test webhook sending is planned and must not be presented as current production behavior until endpoints are confirmed.

Current status and open decisions

  • No real SMS, carrier traffic, production balance, production API keys or live delivery reports are claimed by the current website.
  • Sandbox volume limits remain an open product decision.
  • The difference between simulated send and verified-number live trial test remains explicit.
  • Trial account tariffs, billing shape, virtual inbox previews, contact isolation and log retention require backend confirmation.
  • Plugin and no-code Sandbox modes are not published as current behavior.
