      How many people are using Twilio? They are getting a lot more attention recently.

      My former company is using Twilio. I had good success with it and a PBX in Vultr.

        Yup, it works great there 😉

          Whoever had Windstream, RUN! That's all I can say. I almost had to write the FCC on them due to shady practices for porting numbers!

            Kinda getting the hang of Twilio it's different than what we use right now which is Vitelity but I think it's only because I came from telco's years ago and was expecting something different 🙂

                  Moved all my trunks to Twilio.
                  Love the whole console & UI layout.

                  Also, use Authy (another one of their products)

                    Free support is via email, unless you want to pay (per month) & it ain't cheap.

                      Didn't realize that that was one of theirs.

                          Looks like they have some new tiers available:
                          https://www.twilio.com/support-plans
                          Min. is $250/mo.

                            $250/month is less than two hours of my time in a month. so think about it that way.

                            Will depend on what qualifies in that $250 as support.

                              Looks like 250 get you somewhere between 3 to 9 hours of email response time, no phone calls.

                                I've never had a problem with their free, E-mail support. I usually got responses within 24 hours.

                                  Same experience as you, just thought it needed to be mentioned.

                                    @fateknollogee Agreed. Always good to layout what is available, let the people make a choice as to what is right for their situation.
