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.

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.

Call connectivity Issues I am using Plivo for the last 3 months. Currently, we are facing a lot of call connectivity issues, especially Indian calls. We reported multiple times, But they are taking so much time to resolve this. Is anyone facing the same issue?

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

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.
