Plivo Auto Denial - Trial Account "Risk assessment" denial after only asking for work email and two-question form. Scam.

They don't care about you at all I've spent a week developing the integration between Plivo and my app. When I tried to add my credit card, they DISABLED my account due to fraud (what?), before I even had the chance to confirm the credit card. It has been A MONTH since I started to try unlocking my account, but they take ages to answer and they don't even care to give you a feedback. They just say my account was blocked due to "fraud algorithms" which are not always precise, and yet they don't unlock it.

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.

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.
