Wow that's so much more retarded than I expected. I thought it was the telcos setting up bots to get an increased amount of texts with standard fees. Simple, difficult to detect.
My private number can't send texts to premium numbers, that an automated 2FA system could is so ridiculous I would never even try it. I guess that's why they're better fraudsters than I can ever be, they expect this level of stupidity while I'm surprised.
- disiplus 4y agoThe problem is, globally you cannot know before is this a premium number or not for some random provider in some random country, so what happens is you send the sms and then bill the number.
- worksonmine 4y agoIf my provider can prevent me I'm sure the tech companies with millions in funding can figure it out. Block anything that doesn't comply. I figured this was solved, aren't there SaaS companies with deals all over the world for texts already? If not there's an opportunity. I'm sure it's cheaper than $60M to have full-time employees vet the numbers and new providers showing up.

- praisewhitey 4y agoLooking in that parent link it looks like they do, but it's not a default setting https://www.twilio.com/blog/2015/08/introducing-max-price.html https://www.twilio.com/blog/2015/08/introducing-max-price.ht...
