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
-
@krisleslie Yeah Ive got family in Kentucky that has to use windstream and they are very shady.

Moved all my trunks to Twilio.
Love the whole console & UI layout.Also, use Authy (another one of their products)

The one downside with Twilio is support.
Free support is via email, unless you want to pay (per month) & it ain't cheap. -

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.

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.
