Counterpoint. While Twilio is interesting, I wonder what percentage of their business is simply multifactor authentication. Having previously used a wide range of companies for SMS connectivity (including multilingual, flash SMS, contact forwarding, and raw PDU features), and implemented VOIP systems with privately owned physical PSTN interface infrastructure, recently I looked at Twilio for inbound VOIP and SMS services across three Asian jurisdictions. It fell far short of our requirements, which were basic (phone and SMS on the same number, one number per country).
- razakel 8y ago>phone and SMS on the same number, one number per country Was this actually possible if you'd used the local carriers directly? There could be some regulatory reason, like differences between cell and landline numbering plans for billing.
- tiernano 8y agomobile phone numbers can receive both sms and calls, so a mobile number would work, but you are right. it seems (in Ireland anyway) that getting a mobile number for VoIP stuff is fairly hard... you would need physical SIM cards and hardware...
- tootie 8y agoBy being the default option for MFA and SMS automation, they are an approved and contracted vendor at a zillion companies. Getting a customer to upgrade an existing contract is 100x easier than wooing a new customer. Especially when you have a reputation for being rock solid at your specialty.
