# What does BALANCE_ERROR (Balance Over) mean?

Your message was not sent because your **balance is over** - for example you have no SMS credit or your account wallet balance does not allow this send. The message was rejected before it left the platform.

**What you can do:** Recharge or top up your account. Check your balance and ensure you have enough credit for the number of messages you are sending.
