GBAccount 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

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.

CASame 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.

ESBe 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.
