There is a charge of the cost of a text credit for each PIN request.
The school incurs the charge as the PIN is generated and sent via the Schoolcomms system so it uses the school's text credits.
The cost of the text credit will depend on the bundle you have purchased.
You are able to purchase up to 20,000 text credits via Schoolcomms if you would like to purchase anything above this please send the request to: accounts@parentpay.com
