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.

Same issue Same issue. We are about to go live with our website but got a message from Plivo: Our systems have flagged your account, due to which we are unable to provide you access to our services. I wasted a day to use Plivo API just to learn that I can't use this in our live environments. Plivo, please put this onto your website that you are selective in offering this service and don't provide much explanation about flagging the accounts.

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.

Bad Very Very Very Bad Experience. Bad Very Very Very Bad Experience. This is a Scam on their Pricing Part. Very Hideous and full of surprises. Well on their Pricing Page I have seen a Certain pricing for Domestic. And inside my account they are charging me based on International rates. Now when I reached support regarding that, no reply from 2 days. We already spent a lot of money integrating with Plivo Services. Kind of stuck for now. But They Suck. Also I would like to add: I have been told for 2 days to setup DLT and Registration PE Identity etc. But they are not listening that I am already a registered DLT and using SMS services in India for a long time, and their console is not letting me add my Sender ID and PE Identity. I have been using MSG91 for sometime, quite reliable. Remember before buying cheap is not always the best. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

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.
