Scam and waste of time and money Scam and waste of time and money. Spoke to customer service and described use case and volume. They gave me competitive pricing and said sign up for account. Signed up and got auto denied due to some BS “risk asesmemt”. Seems They are just collecting business emails for spam because they are auto denying everyone. We are a US company, 10+ years old, using SMS for internal notifications and NO marketing. Used Twilio for years. What kind of “risk assessment” are they conducting when you sign up with just email? For sure this is a phishing scam and needs to be avoided

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.

They don't care about you at all I've spent a week developing the integration between Plivo and my app. When I tried to add my credit card, they DISABLED my account due to fraud (what?), before I even had the chance to confirm the credit card. It has been A MONTH since I started to try unlocking my account, but they take ages to answer and they don't even care to give you a feedback. They just say my account was blocked due to "fraud algorithms" which are not always precise, and yet they don't unlock it.

I signed up I signed up, tried trial, upgraded. I integrated it with my custom made platform. After hassle with not receiving texts from international numbers to US numbers, I tried UK number. All worked well. In the meantime they sent some irrelevant questionaire. Since I didn't answered questionaire, yes you read correctly, they are forcing customers to answer some stupid questions like I have nothing else to do; they blocked my account totally. Well, what to say ... Good luck with you business when you treat customers like this

Very Reliable Twilio Alternative We are a fast growing startup with customers around the globe and we needed a reliable way to reach our customers. We initially started with Twilio, but then later added Plivo as a backup. Now we only use Plivo for all our communication. I am now trying to have my team move to PHLO which will reduce our dev times even more. FYI: Our account also got blocked initially as some of the other reviews mention here, but their support team was great and they helped us set back up seamlessly.
