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.

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

Stay far away from Plivo Stay far, far way. Plivo is nothing but a scam now. It's impossible to get a new account, and even existing accounts (I had one for five years) have been shut down without warning.

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.

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.
