Current Twilio customer Current Twilio customer. Tried to sign up with Plivo to test their service, and possibly migrate to it but immediately denied. We run a 12-year-old company that has never (EVER) spammed a client with even a newsletter and we sometimes use SMS to communicate with customers that specifically request this method of communication during support requests/tickets only. "Based on the information you provided regarding your business and use case, we are unable to provide you with service at this time. Our internal team has made the thorough reassessment , and this decision is final." Great business model, Plivo.

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

Poor services and taking $ without deliverying services Various issues with the services while they claiming and lying about their services are almost 100% uptime. Ridiculous. Only focus on taking money without delivering the services especially when SMS are not delivered they just making excuse of their carriers problems. You will ended up paying $ for no services. careful with this dodgy one

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

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.
