Happy customer for the last 12 months We started using Plivo just before COVID, and this year we have relied more on them to message our customers. They have an excellent API and well documented examples. I wish someday they add more reporting around deliver rates and times for our teams to view and action.

Truth is we chose plivo for its … Truth is we chose plivo for its competitive pricing. Soon enough we paid for our mistake :( SMS failures one after another... Outages, failures and timeout are quite common. Even when the "system" is up and running, our end users complained a lot about not receiving the sms... Whenever we reached out to Plivo they gave us a typical response from their support team: "we checked with our provider and SMS was successfully sent." always blaming end users' phones for dropping the messages... EVERY SINGLE TIME!!

Account on hold immediately I tried to sign up with Plivo for internal transactional sms messages. Litterally only want a service to provide real time updates via text message. My account was immediately put on hold. Waste of time even trying to sign up for this company

Be wary of their bait and switch… Be wary of their bait and switch tactics. When you create your account you will see many available phone numbers to purchase. Upon making a payment, thousands of them disappear. I opened 2 accounts, on my paid account I see no availability, on my unpaid account I see many available numbers for the exact same query.

Save yourself a massive headache, and stay away Before I start, I see they have a 1 star rating. A few years ago I would have been shocked. But after todays issues, I am not shocked. Well, I have been with Plivio for 5 years now. The 1st 4 years were great. Never any issues, and very helpful and easy to work with when transferring in numbers. This last year something changed (probably management) I noticed their support very slow, and not helpful at all. Stop replying to tickets. Well last week I wanted to update my email address, and after about a week of back and fourth they reply with "Hi Team, We have received an update from our internal team and we wanted to inform you that, as part of our routine account audit processes, your account has been flagged due to one or more issues. Consequently, we have implemented a block on your account. Our team has conducted a thorough assessment, and after careful consideration, our decision is final. We understand that this news may be unexpected, and we appreciate your understanding of the circumstances that have led us to make this decision." Then they charged my credit card $33 As I checked my statement, they charged me another $25 last week as well. Going to have to put in chargebacks. What a shame.
