CASave 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.

INBad 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.

GBWhat a joke! No joke... opened an account. I have a pre-existing call center solution that uses Twilio. Wanted to have it use other providers too. Literally opened the account, did nothing but hit upgrade account. Supplied the credit card, etc... Then they denied the account with no explanation... Not sure if this is a mistake, or whatever... I mean the product is already an existing product.

CACurrent 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.

GBHappy 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.
