Truth is we chose plivo for its … Truth is we chose plivo for its competitive pricing. Soon enough we paid for our mistake :( SMS failures one after another... Outages, failures and timeout are quite common. Even when the "system" is up and running, our end users complained a lot about not receiving the sms... Whenever we reached out to Plivo they gave us a typical response from their support team: "we checked with our provider and SMS was successfully sent." always blaming end users' phones for dropping the messages... EVERY SINGLE TIME!!

Very 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.

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

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.

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.
