GBPOS service and arbitrary decisions. I started as a Plivo customer in 2016. I have had an active though dormant account for the last two years and apparently something has changed since then, as when I kicked up another PBX system and tried to fund my account, I got an email saying my account was reviewed and I was declined any continuing services. No reason why, though the message made sure to tell me that it could not be appealed. What a waste of time and POS process. After seeing all of the similar reviews, it is apparent some dumb a** in management has made another poor decision... those business degrees are not worth the paper they are written on. Hey Plivo investors, fire your management, they are wasting your money.

GBScam and waste of time and money Scam and waste of time and money. Spoke to customer service and described use case and volume. They gave me competitive pricing and said sign up for account. Signed up and got auto denied due to some BS “risk asesmemt”. Seems They are just collecting business emails for spam because they are auto denying everyone. We are a US company, 10+ years old, using SMS for internal notifications and NO marketing. Used Twilio for years. What kind of “risk assessment” are they conducting when you sign up with just email? For sure this is a phishing scam and needs to be avoided

GBVery 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.

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.

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.
