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.

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

POS service and arbitrary decisions. I started as a Plivo customer in 2016. I have had an active though dormant account for the last two years and apparently something has changed since then, as when I kicked up another PBX system and tried to fund my account, I got an email saying my account was reviewed and I was declined any continuing services. No reason why, though the message made sure to tell me that it could not be appealed. What a waste of time and POS process. After seeing all of the similar reviews, it is apparent some dumb a** in management has made another poor decision... those business degrees are not worth the paper they are written on. Hey Plivo investors, fire your management, they are wasting your money.

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.

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
