          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.

                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.
