      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 🙂

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

            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.

                Didn't realize that that was one of theirs.

                  How not cheap is it?

                    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.
