Why is the number of credits different per recipient?
Although an SMS message may be the same length for multiple recipients, the credits being used may differ, depending on the carrier that is receiving the message.
Our SMS provider's (Vonage) pricing fluctuates based on carrier costs, which is reflected in Arbor with a decimal point based on each credit used. So some messages to guardians may be 1.2 credits, whereas the same message to a different guardian may be 1.4 credits.
