The 200+ countries is slightly misleading, especially when the title mentions two-way messaging. I've done a lot of research into messaging/SMS providers like Twilio, Nexmo, Plivo, etc for supporting two-way messaging in developing countries. Most providers currently only support two-way messaging in similar subset of countries in North America and Europe. Since it is powered by Twilio, I don't think it adds any new countries and definitely not 200.

- sgarg 9y agoThanks for the reply. Are you saying that all of these countries support two-way messaging? It's my impression after signing up and looking at pricing pages that many of these countries only support outbound messaging.
- ranman 9y agoYou're totally right. We'll update the list of countries that support 2-way messaging in the docs in the next few days. It's ~50 or so.

- peteretep 9y agoHey, one thing I spent a bit of time trying to find and couldn't was if the numbers would be designated cell phone numbers? For example, in Thailand all cellphone numbers start with 08/09, in the UK with 07. There are some funny local laws about that. I have quite a few usecases in mind which require the provision of a cell phone number.
