"Evaluating Twilio for Business Communication Needs"
What do you like best about Twilio?

Twilio makes it simple to integrate SMS, voice, and email through one reliable platform. The APIs are easy to work with, well-documented, and scale smoothly from small projects to enterprise deployments. I also appreciate the strong global coverage and consistently high delivery rates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twilio?

The biggest drawback is the pricing, which can get expensive at scale compared to some competitors. Billing can also feel a bit complex with different rates for regions and channels. In addition, while the platform is powerful, some features take extra effort to configure, and support response times could be faster for urgent issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"$10,000 fraud charges, no help from Twilio on solving it - straight up scam"
What do you like best about Twilio?

Twilio is fairly easy to set up, which can be beneficial for teams looking to quickly integrate SMS communication functionalities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twilio?

I’ve had a very disappointing experience with Twilio. We faced SMS toll fraud, which led to thousands of dollars in charges, including charges from a Twilio service, Authy, that we never enabled. Their fraud protection tools failed to prevent this, and we had to stop the activity ourselves. The support we received was non-existent, inconsistent, and often contradictory. Despite presenting logs and evidence, we got false explanations that neither addressed the root issue nor clarified how Authy charges occurred. Our account was suddenly locked over an unexplained balance not visible in our billing history, yet Twilio insists on payment before continuing any investigation. This feels like a scam. Their actions have led to significant operational challenges and financial losses for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"$35,000 fraud charges, no help from Twilio on solving it"
What do you like best about Twilio?

I have never hired them nor used their service, I have no idea how good they are or not at what they supposedly do. All I know is that my credit card has been charged $35,000 to their credit. I have never signed a contract with them nor received any correspondence from them. All of my attempts to contact their customer service have fallen flat. I am not able to get past their bots Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twilio?

I noticed a charge on my credit card, a little over $35,000. I reported this to.Twilio through their customer service portal. I get bot responses, and I answer all of the questions The bot asks, but I cannot get any help. They may be good at their job, I doubt they have any complicity in this credit card charge, but they are certainly not helping me resolve the problem. If I were contemplating using them for their stated service, I would be incredibly reluctant. You will have no way of getting a hold of an actual person to solve your problem.

"Not recommended at all, crazy process from very beginning"
What do you like best about Twilio?

Nothing! charged first - clocked instantly after the charge Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twilio?

Wanted to open a new account and test Voice AI agent, they wanted me to upgrade and pay 20$ I did that, and instantlythe account was blocked, then they sent me a long batch of emails asking what I'm planing to do for what companies etc. I did provide all docs, there were not happy with company adress and keep in mind that I wanted to pay 20$ only to build the test example and call myself, I provided 2 numbers that I will be calling and receiving calls from.

Guess what account was permanently blocked.

Not recommended at all! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"No useful support and no response to my requests online and on the phone."
What do you like best about Twilio?

There is nothing I like abouit Twiliio. It was a horrendous waste of time to try to make it work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twilio?

I couldn't make it work. I couldn't find useful support from them, either online or on the phone. This product was therefore of no use to me, so I tried to cancel it. I never could use it, and thus I never did use it. But they kept on billing me anyway. When I tried to reach them to reverse that charge, I could't reach them online or on the phone. I left multiple messages asking that they respond to me, but they never did. Useless, terrible ripoff company. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. You're better off not dealing with them at all.

"Extremely disappointing experience with Twilio support"
What do you like best about Twilio?

Twilio offers an impressive range of features and API integrations that allow communication solutions to be integrated quickly and efficiently into existing systems. The documentation is extensive and well-structured, which makes implementation easier for developers. We were particularly impressed by the flexibility in call management and the automation possibilities. The scalability of the platform is also a clear advantage for companies that want to grow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twilio?

Unfortunately, our initial enthusiasm was dampened by an extremely disappointing support experience. Our account was suddenly and without warning suspended, just one week after the release of our integration. Despite detailed explanations on our part, we have not received any response from Twilio support for over 2 weeks. The lack of transparency in the verification process and the fact that the service was abruptly shut down during operation have not only massively disrupted our operations but also permanently shaken our trust in Twilio. If Twilio does not address these issues, we unfortunately cannot recommend the platform further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
